Care Wherever It’s Needed
Hospice care can be provided in various settings to best meet each patient's needs: at home, in a hospital, in an assisted living community or in a skilled nursing center.

Support Where it Matters Most
While most people prefer to receive hospice care at home, sometimes that is not possible.
In these cases, MJHS provides specialized care throughout the Greater New York area across a variety of settings to meet each patient’s unique needs including:
In The Comfort of Home
MJHS is one of the original providers of home hospice care in New York City. Our dedicated and compassionate team of hospice professionals will work with you, your family and your personal physician to develop an individualized plan of care that addresses your unique needs, preferences and goals, all in the familiar and comfortable surroundings of your home. We will also arrange the medical equipment necessary to support you or your loved one, including a hospital bed, commode, and oxygen.
Assisted Living Communities & Skilled Nursing Centers
We provide Hospice care provided to patients living in an assisted living communities as well as our skilled nursing center. Our hospice care does not replace the existing staff at these facilities but complements their efforts. We collaborate with doctors, nursing staff, your family, and others to meet your comfort and needs. For residents of in our MJHS Menorah Center who are receiving hospice care, we offer the opportunity to move to our dedicated Molly and Jack Zicklin wing, which has 16 one-bedroom suites. This wing provides family and friends with the opportunity to spend enhanced quality time together.
Inpatient Care
Sometimes, symptoms cannot be managed at home, and an inpatient level of care is required briefly to help stabilize your condition. Inpatient units can be located within a hospital or a dedicated hospice facility. Once your symptoms are stabilized, you will return to the comfort of your home.
Hospitals
If you experience a health emergency related to your terminal diagnosis, you may receive hospice care in a hospital while you’re receiving treatment, provided that the hospital partners with MJHS. Our hospice team will collaborate with the hospital staff to ensure your comfort and closely monitor your condition. Once you’re stabilized, our hospice team will work with the hospital discharge planner to support a smooth transition back home.
