Who Can Make a Referral?
Anyone can refer a patient to Jansen. We accept referrals from physicians, family members, friends, and clergy. If you are not sure whether someone is eligible, please call us and we can help you figure it out.
Who Is Eligible?
Jansen provides hospice care to patients in Westchester County and The Bronx, New York facing an advanced illness with a limited prognosis. This includes conditions such as cancer, AIDS, neurological diseases, cardiac diseases, and pulmonary diseases, among others.
Eligibility for the Medicare Hospice Benefit requires certification from both the attending physician and the hospice medical director that the patient has a prognosis of six months or less if the illness follows its expected course. Patients who live longer than six months may continue to receive hospice care as long as they continue to meet eligibility criteria.

Contact Us >My mom continued to decline but I was never alone. The on-call nurses on the after-hours number are amazing. As a first-time care giver their support was invaluable. The Jansen organization has found a way to find truly kind and caring people to employee. I hope you realize how wonderful your staff is. I cannot stress how important the kindness and compassion of your staff is to family members caring for their loved ones. My mom was able to pass away in her home as she wished.
