Overview:
The Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice is designed to provide a Jewish Hospice service to terminally ill patients and their families in the greater Boston area. The philosophy of the Hospice is rooted in Hessed (loving kindness), and Kevod HaBeriyot (honoring life), but Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice Care is open to anyone regardless of religious affiliation; our mission is informed by Jewish values that are shared across many faith traditions and spiritual belief systems.
Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice works collaboratively with patients and families in the final months, weeks, and days of life, with the goal of achieving optimum healing of body and soul when curing is no longer an option. This means helping the patient and family with: physical comfort, emotional and spiritual support, and companionship.
The Hospice goal is to help every patient at the end attain a peaceful and pain free death and support the healing and bereavement of the family.

Hospice will complete the continuum of outstanding care delivered by Hebrew SeniorLife, an integrated, eight-site system of health care, housing, research and teaching that serves thousands of seniors in the Greater Boston area and beyond and has been a nationally-recognized industry leader for over a century.
