Peace and Dignity for the Entire Family

When the focus of treatment becomes comfort rather than cure, hospice can be a great source of strength. Creating a supportive and comfortable environment at this stage is of the highest importance.

Metropolitan Jewish Hospice (MJH) has a team of caring professionals who focus on the patient’s comfort, with special attention given to symptom management, emotional well-being and pain management. Hospice can be provided in the familiar surroundings of home or any other care setting.

We nurture quality time

Our hospice specialists, the patient, and his or her family work as a team to determine goals and create a care plan that allows the patient to make the most out of life, his or her own way. Our personalized care welcomes the input and support of the family. That includes being sensitive to religious, cultural and ethnic needs of the patient and his or her family.

Our professional staff is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to manage the patient’s care and assist the family. You or a loved one can count on the comforting care of our specialized hospice staff, which includes:

• Hospice medical director
• Personal hospice nurse
• Medical social workers
• Pastoral care
• Music therapist
• Bereavement counselors
• And more

Compassionate care comes from understanding

MJH believes in treating patients and their loved ones with respect. By sharing in the smiles and tears and answering tough questions, we can help everyone involved make the most of their precious time together.

It’s because of our collaborative approach to hospice care that many of our patients say they feel someone is truly listening to them and understanding their needs for the first time.

MJH is a recognized leader in hospice care

In fact, our hospice was New York’s original demonstration project. Metropolitan Jewish Hospice was the first to be accredited by The Joint Commission.

If you’d like to find out more about Metropolitan Jewish Hospice, we would be happy to send a specialized hospice nurse to your home to answer your questions. To make an appointment or request more information, call 1-866-958-7423.
