Westchester County Hospice Care That Moves Quickly and Cares Deeply

Posted on June 16, 2025July 7, 2025 by dcadmin

Navigating the final chapter of a loved one’s life is never easy. It’s an emotional time filled with uncertainty, where families are searching not only for answers but for comfort, clarity, and compassion. At Jansen Hospice, we believe no one should go through this alone. We are proud to serve families throughout Westchester County with hospice care that is both medically expert and deeply personal.

One of our families, the Gordons, shared a moving account of how Jansen’s presence brought peace during a profoundly difficult time.

A Partner in Challenging Moments

Susan Gordon turned to Jansen Hospice when her husband became seriously ill. She recalls how quickly and compassionately our team responded to their needs:

“We needed to move quickly, and they were on board with getting things approved—I think within 24 hours. What I appreciated was how quickly they reacted and how supported I felt through every step.”

In moments that call for immediate care, having a responsive team can make all the difference. That’s where Jansen stands apart. Our staff understands that families in crisis need action, not red tape. This commitment to timeliness is central to our Westchester County in-home hospice care, where patients receive immediate, high-quality support in the comfort of their homes.

More Than Medical Support: A Human Connection

“The nurse and the social worker took our hands and walked us through every step,” Susan says. “They took care of everything. I just was blown away.”

Finding Peace in Difficult Times: Nan’s Story of Compassionate Hospice Care

Posted on June 13, 2025June 13, 2025 by dcadmin

Navigating the end-of-life journey for a loved one is undeniably one of life’s most challenging experiences. It’s a time often marked by a whirlwind of emotions, uncertainties, and a profound desire to ensure comfort and peace. At Jansen Hospice, we understand this deeply, and our mission extends beyond clinical care to providing a holistic embrace of support for both patients and their families.

We recently heard a powerful story from Nan, whose experience with Jansen Hospice during her brother’s final days beautifully illustrates the profound impact of compassionate, skilled care. Her experience is just one example of the difference quality hospice care in Westchester can make.

The Comfort of Expert Guidance

Nan reflects on the overwhelming nature of the situation, a common feeling for caregivers. This resonates strongly with many families who find themselves in a caregiving role.

Listen to Nan’s reflection on her experience:

“My name is Nan. We used Jansen Hospice for my brother and couldn’t be more pleased with the service that we received. Just getting the education from the nurses made all the difference in the world. It just took a little bit of the fear out of that next step. That was a very positive experience. I cannot imagine doing this alone. You have to have trained nurses and a person with compassion. We can have all the compassion that they needed, but we don’t have the skills to give the patient the level of comfort and reduce their anxiety and take pain away.”

Beyond Compassion: The Skills That Matter

For Nan, the turning point was the education and reassurance provided by the Jansen team. This highlights a crucial aspect of hospice care in Westchester County: empowering families with knowledge and confidence, turning uncertainty into clarity.

The emotional burden of solitary caregiving is immense. Nan poignantly states that she “cannot imagine doing this alone.” This underscores the vital role of a dedicated hospice team. While family members offer boundless love and compassion, they often lack the specialized skills to manage complex medical needs and anxieties. Jansen Hospice bridges this gap, providing trained nurses and compassionate individuals who work quickly and effectively to bring calm and comfort. They are not just medical professionals; they are a supportive presence, ensuring that families feel heard, understood, and never isolated.

Ultimately, Nan’s story speaks to the core of Jansen Hospice’s philosophy: to offer “a life well lived.” It’s about more than just medical support; it’s about fostering an environment of peace, dignity, and unwavering care, allowing families to focus on precious moments, knowing they are in good hands.

If you or a loved one are facing this difficult journey and have questions, or want to learn more about how Jansen Hospice can offer support and peace, please contact us today. We believe that every family deserves compassionate guidance and the comfort of knowing they are not alone.

Jansen made an unbearable experience somewhat bearable. My wife of 52 years went into hospice at home on August 4 and died on August 29 from metastatic breast cancer. The moment we agreed with the doctors to end chemo and move to hospice, Jansen took over. Social Worker Deb Hanley organized everything. Nurse Marcia Roberts was available at all times and made sure that we had all the necessary medicines and equipment before we knew that we needed them. The aides who came to our home every day were all both kind and competent. I had never heard of Jansen before the staff at Lawrence Hospital introduced us. I do not know how to say thank you any better than writing this 5-star review.
