Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care has been taking care of families for over 35 years. Their nurses, counselors, doctors, social workers, and volunteers are a central pillar in the Jansen community, especially when it comes to hospice at home in Westchester. The staff provide immense care and support to patients who wish to live in the comfort of their own home among their friends and family. Here’s how they do it:

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is specialized medical and emotional support for individuals facing a life-limiting illness, focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life rather than curative treatment. In Westchester hospice care, patients can receive compassionate services at home or in a Westchester hospice care facility, including pain management, symptom relief, and emotional support from a team of nurses, counselors, doctors, and volunteers. Home hospice allows patients to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving expert care, giving families the freedom to focus on connection, meaningful moments, and end-of-life planning.

Benefits of Westchester Hospice Care at Home

• Familiar Surroundings: Receiving care at home allows patients to be in a familiar and comfortable environment during their final days. It provides both physical and emotional peace, helping the patient feel at ease and surrounded by memories of a life well lived.
• Accessible Expert Care: Skilled nurses and compassionate caregivers/counselors bring their expertise to support the well-being of both the patient and their family right at home.
• Time to Connect: With the support of hospice staff, families can worry less about the medical logistics and focus on the most important thing: being there for them.

Supporting Families through Hospice Care

A peaceful passing is possible when families have support, comfort, and dignity. The hospice staff’s unwavering commitment helps families through these difficult times, touching the hearts and minds of so many who needed to feel like they were heard and understood.

• Physical Support: Hospice staff handle the physical care and medical logistics of the patient so the family members are free from the pressure of full-time caregiving and can give their full attention to their loved one.
• Emotional Support: Families are given counseling options and regular check-ins to make sure the family is well informed, supported, and given the chance to voice their worries or concerns. This helps reduce the family’s overall stress and anxiety, and instead encourages them to laugh and share stories with their loved one.

A life well lived is more than just words. It’s a guiding principle in how Jansen cares for every patient and family. It’s about having the space to say what matters, to share stories, to laugh, and to let go peacefully.

Jansen Nurse Practitioner, Alex Trost

“I’ve seen firsthand how hospice care can make that possible. Receiving care at home allows the patient to be in a familiar and comfortable setting filled with life’s memories. Westchester hospice agencies provide skilled nurses, compassionate caregivers, and spiritual counselors to allow loved ones to simply be family, rather than the full-time primary caregivers. Hospice care gives everyone permission to focus on connection and being present in the moment without the pressure of logistics. In these moments, surrounded by warmth and support and love, a peaceful passing becomes a beautiful part of a life well lived.”

At Jansen Hospice, we believe everyone deserves this kind of peace and dignity at the end of life.
