Hospice Care

Meeting your medical, emotional, and spiritual needs in the hospital, or in the comfort of your own home or living situation.

The Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care team works closely with the patient’s primary care physician to meet the patient’s medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

The following are just some of the services that Jansen offers to our patients:

  • 24-hour on-call services and assistance, so we are always available for our patients and their families
  • Medical director who is responsible for overall medical care and planning, with an emphasis on symptom control and pain management
  • Skilled nursing care and visits from a registered nurse who formulates the hospice plan of care in communication with the patient’s physician, including arrangement for medications, supplies, equipment and additional services as needed
  • Certified home health aides who provide care and assistance with personal needs
  • Certified social workers who assist with resource and care planning, in addition to providing emotional support
  • Spiritual counseling for all faith communities
  • Bereavement counseling including individual and group support
  • Specially trained volunteers who provide companionship and assistance with daily living, friendly support, and respite care for caregivers
  • Medications for symptom management and pain control
  • Medical supplies and equipment, as needed
  • Therapies – physical, occupational and speech therapies, as needed for symptom management
  • Short-term inpatient and respite care for up to five days at contracted facilities

This place changed everything for my family. We struggled with caring for my mom at home for 5 years and when they arrived it was like angels singing... Our social worker - Jody and our RN Violeta - made my mom comfortable and cared not only for her, but for our family as if we were their own. They were kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I HIGHLY recommend them!!!
