The Visiting Nurse Service of New York Hospice provided my family and I with top-notch care during a difficult time. The nurses were always open to communication and worked hard to understand both the patient’s needs as well as our own – they made us feel like we could be involved in decisions that affected the well being of our loved one. Their services were gentle, compassionate, and full of personalized attention: never feeling like just another number on a chart. Every nurse was so kind, respectful, knowledgeable, efficient, and supportive; all qualities essential for delivering comforting end-of-life care. We are very grateful for their quality service!

My experience with Visiting Nurse Service of New York Hospice has been nothing but exemplary! They communicated clearly with me regarding my patients’ condition every step of the way – noting why changes needed to occur or suggesting different strategies when appropriate – thus allowing me to stay informed about treatments at each stage and make case management decisions confidently knowing that my patient was receiving world class care from caring professionals filled with compassion & humility galore! Every single staff member – from the doctors to nursing assistants – have made this complicated situation bearable by explaining everything simply & making sure everybody’s happiness throughout steps forward is not compromised at all levels! Highly recommend!!
