A Look Behind the Doors of Private Hospice: Westchester County
At the end of your life, you want to be as comfortable as possible. And there is no better place than the privacy of your home.
What is private hospice in Westchester County?
Private hospice is an end-of-life service provided in your own home.
Hospice is a special way of caring that emphasizes comfort and dignity for people coping with a terminal illness. The hospice philosophy accepts death as the final stage of life; it affirms life but does not try to hasten or postpone death, nor cure an underlying disease. The focus of hospice is to support the highest quality of life for whatever time remains at a patient’s “home,” whether it is a private residence, skilled nursing facility, or assisted living facility.
At Jansen Hospice, our goal is to provide you with support medically, emotionally, and spiritually.
