There is no charge or obligation to use SimplyNaya.
Start with the location where care is needed.
The person searching may live nearby or be helping from another city. The care location determines which local hospice connection and Medicare-certified provider information are most relevant.
After you contact us, request a private, time-limited link to providers serving the care location.

Support in the communities you call home.
Every family’s situation is different. These questions can help you picture how hospice might support your loved one in the place they know best.

New Holland, Strasburg and nearby communities
Around New Holland, Bird-in-Hand, Gordonville, Ronks and Strasburg, share your loved one’s care address and ask about travel, visit schedules and the support caregivers can expect between visits.
Millersville, Columbia and the western communities
If home is in Millersville, Mountville, Landisville, Mount Joy, Columbia or Washington Boro, ask the agency to confirm service at that address and explain how urgent needs are handled.
When things change
When care needs change, it is okay to ask questions.
Families often begin exploring hospice after a hospital stay, a difficult conversation with a clinician, or when support at home becomes harder to manage. You do not need every answer before taking the next step.
- Begin with your loved one’s needs, preferences and the place they feel most comfortable.
- Ask about equipment, medicines and the practical support family caregivers may need.
- If relatives live elsewhere, ask how the care team will share updates and include them in conversations.
Questions to ask when comparing hospice providers can help you prepare for the first conversation.
Comparing hospice providers in Lancaster
Check service at the address where care is needed.
An agency’s office location does not tell you whether it can support your loved one’s home or community. When comparing hospice providers in Lancaster, ask each agency to confirm service at your loved one’s home or community, current availability, and how it responds after hours.
Care at home
Ask who visits, how equipment and medications are arranged, and what help family caregivers will need to provide.

Clear answers before you make a decision.
How can I compare hospice providers in Lancaster?
Ask how soon an evaluation can take place, who will visit, how after-hours concerns are handled and what support your family will receive. Each agency should confirm its current availability and service at the care address.
Can hospice support someone who lives in assisted living or a nursing home?
Hospice can often work alongside the staff where a person already lives. Ask each agency how responsibilities are coordinated, what hospice services are included and which existing housing or facility charges remain separate.
Can I use this guide if I am helping from another city?
Yes. Search for the community where your loved one needs care, then ask the agency how it will communicate with family members who cannot attend every visit.
Which nearby communities are included?
This guide focuses on Lancaster and nearby communities including Lititz, Ephrata, Manheim, New Holland, Strasburg, Millersville, Mount Joy and Columbia. Confirm the care location with each agency rather than assuming every Lancaster County address is covered.
Finding the right local area
Not sure which area to choose?
You do not need to know which area to choose. Start with the community where your loved one lives, and ask each agency how it can support your family there.
Provider eligibility and service-area information should be confirmed directly with the hospice and through Medicare Care Compare. Local content reviewed September 2026.
Provider information by request
Your options remain private and complete.
After contacting SimplyNaya, families can request a time-limited link to eligible Medicare-certified hospice providers serving the care location. Paid partner placement never removes other eligible providers.
Before choosing care, families can also review whether Medicare covers hospice and what costs to ask about, or learn what hospice care at home may look like.
