Elizabeth L — Being involved with hospice made dealing with my mother’s illness a complete nightmare. I need therapy from the stress and trauma of the situation they left me and my son in.
I’m leaving one star for the nurse Marilyn, who was on call for the emergency number, and for the two social workers, Francesca... Read more and Alexandra, they were the only bright spot. They convinced me to send my mom to Boro Park for pain management, she fell overnight, and came home after 5 days as a vegetable. Neither facility kept in touch with the other. She came home with a terrible sore. A complete mess.
And when she passed, NO ONE came out to pronounce my mom dead. They left it up to us. I would leave zero stars if I could.
Please, please stay away. Read less

Lauren Pulvidente — I would highly recommend NJHS hospice services. Every member of the team from the 24 hr call in line, to the nurses, the social worker and Chaplin were incredible in the level of care we received for my Dad. Specially to our nurse Neema and social worker Jade They made a very difficult situation bearable,...

They were kind an compassionate and I will forever be grateful. Read less

Sarah Jenny — I am shocked to see all the negative ratings of MJHS. I suppose people don't normally take the time to write a positive review of anything, much less hospice but I have to share my experience. My father received hospice care in his home (independent living) and not in a nursing home.

My father... Read more was diagnosed with lung cancer 26 months ago and entered hospice a month before he died. We were connected with MJHS right before Thanksgiving 2017 when he was hospitalized with a collapsed lung. I have no idea how we were placed with them but I believe when we told the hospital my father was Jewish they selected them.

I had been doing so much on my own that to have them sweep in and take charge in a compassionate, respectful way relived a huge burden as I had never cared for a dying loved one before.

They came to our home on Thanksgiving for intake and from there we were supported by a skilled, compassionate and communicative social worker, nurse, Rabbi and physician. I called at all hours in my father's final months as I navigated a difficult decline and they showed up as promised within 1-2 hours of each call to treat acute ailments and address my fears and concerns.

My father wanted to pass with dignity in his own home. All of his wishes were respected.

In his final night, they had sent an LPN and RN to oversee the LPN. The LPN spent the night and was able to get ahead of the pain and agitation to make sure my father was comfortable. I cried and cried for hours as we said I love you back and forth. I made sure he could say goodbye on the phone to my siblings. I have regrets about not spending that final night with him (he passed 6 hours after I left) but I know he was well cared for through the night.

I know my father, who had initially been opposed to hospice due to the reality of facing death but also loved the team we worked with. In my father's building he also had an aide (not through hospice) so we had that additional support as I work full-time.

Without MJHS I am not sure what we would have done. The Rabbi was truly wonderful. My father met with him several times, I was able to meet with him and my father asked him to preside over the funeral service which he said would be an honor. He did an amazing job.

I am incredibly grateful for all MJHS provided for my father and my family for end of life care. I would recommend them highly to any family who may need these services. Read less
