The key to providing comfortable care is a comprehensive plan that involves a team of experienced medical and healthcare professionals, dedicated to addressing all aspects of a patient’s illness and family needs. Our team includes a physician, a RN case manager/advocate, nurses and certified nursing aides, spiritual advisors, social workers, and volunteers. They all share a common goal: to positively affect the lives they touch.

Both palliative care and hospice care provide comfort. Palliative care can begin at diagnosis, and at the same time as treatment. Hospice care begins after treatment of the disease is stopped and when it is clear the illness is not survivable. Hospice services are covered completely by most insurances and by Medicare.

Whichever care is required, our services are provided wherever the patient lives, whether it’s in their own private residence, nursing home or assisted living community. If at any time the patient’s condition improves or they decide to pursue aggressive treatment, the patient can be discharged from hospice.

As part of the not-for-profit Jewish HomeLife network of services – an organization known for providing exceptional services and lifestyles – our care reflects the traditional Jewish concern for the personal dignity and uniqueness of each human life. Consistent with the Jewish belief that hospitality is a value, we welcome any patient and their family, people of the Jewish faith, any other faith, or no faith at all.

While 50% of our patients are non-Jewish, as a Jewish Hospice, we possess a built-in recognition of the cultural nuances, collective histories, and sensibilities many Jewish people share. We know the Jewish calendar, traditions and rituals, and have Russian and Hebrew-speaking staff. We’re Atlanta’s only Jewish Hospice.
