Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in Lehigh Valley

Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in Lehigh Valley?

No. A hospital or physician can share names they work with often. You may still compare any Medicare-certified hospice that will come to the patient’s address. Calling for information does not enroll you.

Should we contact more than one hospice about Lehigh Valley?

Yes. Compare who covers the exact address, how soon a nurse can get there, and who answers after hours. A referral is a starting point, not a requirement to use one brand.

Can hospice care be provided at home in Lehigh Valley?

Yes. Most hospice care happens where the patient already lives — a house or apartment, or assisted living, memory care, or a nursing facility. Ask the team to confirm that specific address, not only the city or county name.

How quickly can hospice start in Lehigh Valley?

When hospice is medically appropriate, many teams begin within about 24–48 hours, and some can start the same day when staffing allows. Ask who comes first and how a night call is handled. Then verify by phone.

Is the main St. Luke's hospital in Allentown?

No. It is in Fountain Hill, beside Bethlehem. Cedar Crest is the Allentown campus.

Are Bethlehem and Easton the same page?

No. Each has its own page. This region is only the wider scan.

Where hospice care happens across Lehigh Valley

Most hospice in the Lehigh Valley happens in the house, apartment, or care facility where the person already lives. A short stay somewhere with a nurse through the night is for symptoms that cannot be managed at home. Ask which bed they would use, and which of these cities that bed is in.

Local considerations for Lehigh Valley families

Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Fountain Hill have their own pages. The creek and the Lehigh River split nights that look short on a regional map. Phillipsburg, New Jersey, is a different state.

Say the city and the county. Cedar Crest is Lehigh County. Bethlehem and Easton are Northampton County. Fountain Hill is its own borough beside south Bethlehem.

When you are comparing, it often helps to:

  • Allentown, Bethlehem, Fountain Hill, and Easton have different campuses
  • Lehigh County and Northampton County are both in this region
  • Each city has its own page
  • New Jersey across the river is a different state

Lehigh Valley is a regional hub, not a coverage promise. Open the patient’s city or county before you enroll.
