A tradition of caring…

Hospice care focuses on the comfort, support and dignity of the patient.

Stein Hospice’s team works to address the unique needs of each individual we service, focusing on:

  • Managing pain and relieving symptoms.
  • Preserving the patient’s integrity through choice and control.
  • Helping to make each day a meaningful one.
  • Treating the patient as a whole being.

Stein Hospice honors the wishes and preferences of the patient, family and physician. We understand that one approach does not fit all circumstances.

We bring our special care to wherever the patient lives and is most comfortable, whether private ome or apartment, nursing home facility or assisted living residence.

Caring for a loved one at the end of life is perhaps the most physically and emotionally demanding role a family member will ever face. By recognizing the unique aspects of each family, its history and ways of facing life’s challenges, Stein Hospice provides support that can bring a sense of peace and calm at a time when it is most needed.

Facing terminal illness often elicits a need for spiritual expression that provides a connection to the past and hope for the future.

Our Chaplains work with families and their own clergy to best serve the patient and their family’s needs in accordance with their own beliefs. Halacha is followed to the level of observance Jewish families are accustomed. Advice regarding Jewish ritual at the end of life is also available.

Stein Hospice reaches out to communities throughout Central New Jersey to serve as a resource. Our staff attend community health fairs and speak to individuals, groups, organizations and medical facilities about the Medicare hospice benefit, advanced care planning, grief, pain management and end-of-life care options.

Our bereavement support groups are free and open to the public.
