"I am so grateful that my mother was able to experience
the excellent hospice services that Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care provided. My sister
and I were so impressed by the nurses who came by to check up on Mom. I appreciate
your phone calls on the day she passed away. It was comforting to have so many
people care so much. I also want to say that the nurses' aide did such a wonderful
job as well. She “hit it off” with my mother from the moment she walked through
the door. They enjoyed each other's company and seemed to bond in that short amount
of time. We felt as though she was part of our family..."
Sincerely,
An appreciative daughter

Coping With Terminal Illness
Jansen's personalized approach to hospice care imparts peace of mind during
this time of great crisis. Jansen replaces fear and anxiety with hope and comfort.
The hospice staff at Jansen recognizes and respects the fact that we are guests
in the lives of our patients and their families at a very vulnerable time. We
work with them to ensure that plans are carried out on their own terms and enable
them to take back some control, in spite of the illness.

needs of each patient and family. This approach includes:

available from Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care Medical Director
