"I'm using Jansen Hospice & Palliative Care for my wife. They're excellent. They're really super, very caring service, and very prompt with supplies. They're just outstanding. Their aides are very good and committed to the patients, which is really, really good. They're caring and professional. And certainly, the needs of the patient and the family are really high concerns, and so it has been a real help to all of us."

"The past 3 months have been heartbreaking as our family watched my Grandfather leave us. In the last month of his life we were struck with the fact that he would no longer rebound in any rehabilitation center so we decided to bring him home, it was what we wanted. That is when we found Hospice and Palliative Care of Westchester. I can't even begin to describe how knowledgeable, loving and compassionate everyone within the company was that our family came in contact with from our first inquiry with them until his last dying day. His Nurse, who was always a phone call away, was such a gentle soul that helped ease not only my grandfather but our entire family. It was really a breathe of fresh air. I am so thankful for the care they provided. If there ever comes a time in your life when you need to use home hospice service for a loved one I highly recommend Hospice and Palliative Care of Westchester. "

"Calvary Hospital Brooklyn Campus is great. We have no problem with it. The personnel are good. The place is clean. We're very happy with the facility. It's in NYU Langone.

They're doing a tremendous job. They're very caring."

"I've never experienced a loved one passing. Villa Marie Claire Hospice helped me with the whole process of dealing with the whole thing. If you could say death is a beautiful experience, they made it a beautiful experience. It was very spiritual. We said our prayers before my father passed. I can't say enough things about it. They encouraged us to talk, to deal with what's going on. They helped my mom and they helped me deal with my mom. And they were even there for us afterwards. There was even a follow up phone call after a month or so. It was superb. From 1 to 10, I would give them a 20. "

"First I want to say when trying to research a home hospice service for reviews there were hardly any. This is why I am writing this review on MJHS. My mom recently had a massive stroke and after being in the hospital for several weeks we needed a company that provides home hospice care. We reached out to MJHS and they did everything from explaining the process to setting up the equipment needed to make mom as comfortable as possible in our house. The equipment came the day before so when mom got released everything was there and set up for her. I found them to be very caring and compassionate to my mom. They treated her with respect and were very gentle with her. Mom passed away 5 days later but in that time they treated her like their own family. I want to thank MJHS, the aides, nurses and staff for the care they gave my mom in her own home. The only negative otherwise I would of given five stars is that no one came to pick up all the medications left in my home that mom was taking. "

"Watching someone that you love die causes terrible grief and stress. This service was offered to us in my mothers nursing home. We watched my mothers health decline within the last 2 month tremendously, she does not eat, nor does she open her eyes. i felt that she knew we were there because she would nod or shake her head to questions ask, but now I'm not so sure. When the staff of this agency 1st came to me they seemed caring and interested in my mother and family. nearly 2 weeks and i feel that they are looking to move her onto the next life sooner than I am ready to let go...Fortunately I have never had to deal with Hospice services and I hope that i never have to again...If your parent is in a nursing home, and you cant afford to pay for weekend help you're on your own here... this hospice only gives you a companion mon- fri (no dying on weekends)..My nursing home which seemed to be way understaffed this past weekend, allowed my mothers both arms to blow up like popeyes from the Iv that she was on, and the woman that I hired to come in to assist me, when I couldnt be there.... found my mother twice covered in blood.... once from a nose blled which they stated was caused from the oxygen drying out nasal passage and the second time some messed up the IV and blood was trickling out for some time....not sure how long for the amount of blood that we saw.......surely sounds like neglect,on my part for trusting this hospice which promises dignity and easy care for patient and my nursing home which no longer seems to care since placing her into hospice "

" y husband is 58 years old is in the final stages of lung and brain cancer, I could not survive without the care and compassion hospice has shown me and our family.They are making his journey easier and are helping to keep in pain manageable. I only wish that hospice hadbeen around when my dad died. It makes the journey less fearful. They are the best::::::::"

"my sister passed away three years ago on march 10 of this year the care was exceptional she was only 46 hospice was wonderful with her and our family god bless them and the wonderful god given work that they do! "

"My mother was at the Father Hudson House in Hospice Care for 3 weeks. It was a very touch decision to make. I can honestly say the staff was incredible there. My mother was very comfortable there and at peace in the last days of her life. I am forever grateful for the care she received there. "

"The Addeo Hospice Residence has been amazing. They're caring, nurturing, my mom is always clean, always smells good and always dressed appropriately. They try to feed her even if she doesn't eat too much. They're wonderful, attentive, and very kind. It's beautiful; it's a house so it looked very much like someone's home on the outside, which is very cozy. And on the inside, it's a really nice design. Everyone has privacy. They have a view of the woods which is nice, it's very sunny. It's painted, wallpapered, the flooring is lovely and it's just impeccably clean. My mom has community Medicaid and that's what pays for it, she also has insurance."

"Good Shepherd Hospice was recommended by the Alzheimer's Association in the hospital. It took the agency only a couple of days to send someone over for my dad. The man who is the aide that comes and takes care of my father is wonderful. He's very helpful to my mother if she needs help. Everybody who came to the house and talked on the phone with were wonderful.He helps my dad get up in the morning, showers him, dresses him, changes his diaper, and takes him outside. He is very caring and kind, and once you tell him what needs to be done, he does it. She doesn't have to tell him everyday what needs to be done. He's very dependable and shows up everyday on time. "

"My mom is using Good Shepherd Hospice - Catholic Health. They're very good. They're reliable. I had an emergency yesterday, and they were right here. They're willing to answer questions anytime, day or night. They're excellent. My mom gets a physician to come in once or twice a month, and she has an R.N. come in and check on her every morning and late at night."
