“Hospice” Means Care, Not Fear1/28/2025  Hospice provides better quality end-of-life care Hospice isn’t a word to fear. It’s not about giving up; it’s about focusing on what matters most—comfort, a patient’s wishes, and loved ones. Hospice care surrounds a patient with a team of experts who bring medical support, emotional care, and peace of mind to them and their family. It’s a compassionate choice for patients and families facing serious illnesses. At its heart, hospice is about enhancing the quality of life, providing comfort, understanding, and communication; and ensuring dignity during what are life’s most meaningful moments for many patients and families.

Did you know that Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey is the longest-serving VNA in the state of New Jersey? So we know a thing or two about what services people need to recover from illness and surgery at home and how to help seniors "age in place" to avoid hospitalization and nursing homes. For help in making a plan for successful aging at home before you have a health emergency visit our Guide to Aging at Home. And visit www.vnannj.org to learn more about our home health care and hospice services. Medicare and supplemental insurance often do not cover all the care our patients and caregivers need.
