Caregiver Support
In addition to our hospice services, we offer support for families and caregivers who are coping with the emotional and logistical challenges of life-limiting illnesses, including advanced dementia, congestive heart failure, metastatic cancer, and renal failure.
Bereavement Support
We offer bereavement support groups for parents, spouses, children, and other loved ones experiencing loss.
Insurance Policy
Hospice is usually covered by most major insurance, as well as Medicare and Medicaid.
I'm comforted by knowing that thanks to JSSA's hospice support, the few short months we had together at the end were spent focused on living, not dying.”
