VNA Hospice - for patients & caregivers

“The hospice team played a very large part in granting my mother’s final wish and probably mine as well. She died at home, peacefully, surrounded by family and close friends.” – Caregiver

The idea of hospice is difficult for some to accept, but at VNA, hospice care is intended to enhance the quality of life for people with terminal illnesses by attending to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of not only the patient but also of their family. Hospice is intended to make a difficult time less stressful, less painful, and more comforting.

Here are some things that you may like to know should your loved ones ever be in need of such care.

• VNA Hospice provides a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes.
• VNA, as a full-service hospice provider, brings comfort and care to individuals and families in their own homes .
• When needed or requested, VNA can coordinate transfers between an individual’s home and an inpatient setting.
• An individualized care plan is devised for every client based upon their needs and preferences.

In most cases, the cost of hospice care is covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance. In addition, VNA makes hospice care available to all who need it without regard to their ability to pay. 

“Based on my experiences with the Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey, I see it as a family of the most professional doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, coordinators, administrators, and home health aides healthcare has to offer.” – Patient Family Member
