Accredited by the JCAHO, Metropolitan Jewish Hospice tries to provide care which, in their estimation, is “self-directed” by patients. The balance is struck between what a patient wants and that which is necessary for the utmost in care. The agency places a strong emphasis on creating a homelike environment where loved ones can spend time comfortably with patients. The spiritual and emotional needs of both patients and family members are placed at the forefront. By welcoming all cultural and religious groups, the hospice strives to satisfy a variety of needs.
