How hospice at home works
Once you are eligible for hospice, Jefferson Health at Home by BAYADA delivers expert medical care including symptom and pain management, as well as social, emotional, and spiritual support through the end-of-life process. We are committed to providing personalized care, so patients and families feel empowered and supported during life's final journey.

Timely start of care
We will be there when you need us to begin hospice services, usually within 24 hours of your call.

Trained and compassionate caregivers who love what they do
Hospice is uniquely rewarding work and our home health care professionals have a passion for helping families make the most of their quality time together.

Clinical supervision
Each patient's care is supervised by a Registered Nurse (RN) Clinical Manager.

24/7 availability
If you have a question or are experiencing a crisis, you can reach us anytime, day or night.

Family support
Our support services continue after a loved one's passing with ongoing bereavement counseling for family members.

Inpatient hospice for acute care
For patients with severe pain and other intense symptoms that require a higher level of care than can be provided in the home, our inpatient care unit at Abington Hospital is the best setting for meeting those acute needs. Here, patients can experience exceptional end-of-life care in a comfortable environment while spending meaningful time with loved ones.

Paying for hospice care
Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance providers offer benefits that cover the cost of hospice care. In fact, most patients will pay nothing out-of-pocket for the cost of hospice care. Ask your insurance provider or hospice care provider about the hospice benefits you or your loved one are eligible for or contact Jefferson Health at Home by BAYADA.
