The Art of a Life Well Lived: Hospice Care in Westchester County

The Art of a Life Well Lived: Hospice Care in Westchester County

When facing the end of life, the question often arises: What does it mean to live well? At Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care, we believe that a life well lived is one that is remembered with tenderness, care, and dignity. Located in Westchester County, our hospice care facilities support patients and families through the final chapters of life with compassion and intention.

More Than Medical Care: Connection

Jansen Hospice offers more than just clinical support. We view every patient as a whole person, not a diagnosis. In our Westchester County in-home hospice care program, patients are surrounded by familiar comforts and supported by therapies that soothe the body and the spirit.

We offer a range of services including acupuncture, aromatherapy, music therapy, Reiki, and pet therapy. These approaches are grounded in the idea that the quality of one’s final days can reflect the beauty of their entire life. Whether patients receive care in their home or in one of our Westchester County hospice care facilities, they are met with unwavering compassion.

Home Hospice Care Where Every Life Is Honored

Our team works to ensure that each patient feels seen, heard, and valued. From the moment a family chooses Jansen, they become part of a care environment rooted in love and respect. The question we return to again and again is simple, but profound: Was I loved, and did I love in return? At Jansen, we help our patients answer that with a resounding yes.

Families searching for Westchester home hospice care often tell us that what sets Jansen apart is the sense of presence we bring. It’s not just about symptom management. It’s about honoring the story of a person’s life and helping them feel the impact they’ve had on the world.

It’s been said that a life well lived is the most exquisite work of art. I’m Tara Flanagan, the chaplain with Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care. At Jansen, we see every life as a finely detailed portrait. We ask ourselves at the end of life, was I loved, and did I love? And I think this is such a beautiful way of approaching that central ethics question of the good life— and the good life as one where you receive and give love. And at Jansen, we really strive to embody that love for our patients. They’re not alone, and they know that they mattered. From acupuncture, aroma, and music therapy, Reiki to pet therapy, Jansen provides unparalleled care for a life well lived.

Westchester County Hospice Care That Moves Quickly and Cares Deeply

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.”

This place and the workers are truly a blessing. I can never repay them for the help and support that they gave me with my mom. While no other company wanted to take my moms case they were the only ones willing to take it. They stood by me thru all the trials and tribulations and I could’ve never done that transition without them eternally grateful.
