Defining Home Hospice In Southern Westchester

Hospice care not only supports patients who have a life-limiting illness but also provides assistance to family members and caregivers. Caring for a loved one on hospice can be an incredible honor and joy, but can also be very challenging. To ease the burden, hospice offers support, education, respite care, and counseling to reduce stress and anxiety.

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.

Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans.

To learn more about how our at-home hospice care providers in Southern Westchester can help your loved one in their final stage of life call 914-787-6158.

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.
