Other important resources for Poconos families
Families across The Poconos often discover that choosing a hospice is only one part of the journey. Questions about funeral arrangements, cremation, estate planning, elder law, probate, advance directives, veterans’ benefits, and other important decisions frequently arise at the same time.
Placements are limited and selective — we review applications and only accept organizations that meet our standards for this section. Listings are paid advertising, not recommendations or endorsements. Families review the information and choose professionals for themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hospices in The Poconos
Do we have to use the hospice a hospital names in The Poconos?
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 The Poconos?
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 The Poconos?
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 The Poconos?
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 Pocono hospital in Stroudsburg?
No. It is in East Stroudsburg. Stroudsburg is the next borough and the county seat.
Does this region include Allentown?
No. Allentown is in the Lehigh Valley region and has its own page.
Hospice Care in The Poconos
Finding hospice care in The Poconos
One hospital borough, a county seat next door, and a Lehigh Valley that is a different page. FindHospices.com is free for families.
What families often compare across the region
When you call, ask about:
- Whether the team covers the exact address, not only the city or county name
- Who would come after hours, and how long that usually takes
- What happens if symptoms cannot be managed at home
- Medicare quality and family-experience information on each profile
Where hospice care happens across The Poconos
Most hospice in the Poconos 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 in East Stroudsburg, and who drives to the home borough after dark.
Local considerations for The Poconos families
Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg have their own pages. Families use one name for both boroughs. The hospital is only in East Stroudsburg. Allentown and Bethlehem are the Lehigh Valley region.
Say the borough and the county. A resort area and a county road are not the same call after midnight. This region is a scan of nearby communities, not a license.
When you are comparing, it often helps to:
- The Pocono hospital is in East Stroudsburg
- Stroudsburg is the county seat and is not that campus
- Allentown is a different region
- Open the city or county page for the address
The Poconos is a regional hub, not a coverage promise. Open the patient’s city or county before you enroll.
Where to start
Use the patient’s exact address, then open a tighter page if the home is in East Stroudsburg, Arlington Heights, Stroudsburg, Palmerton, Monroe County, Carbon County, Wayne County, Allentown.
