The Sarah Chudnow Campus provides a special form of end of life care for individuals and their families. When medical treatments cannot cure an illness, the interdisciplinary team can do a great deal to control pain, reduce anxiety and provide medical, spiritual and emotional comfort to patients and their family.

The program is designed to treat the individual, not the disease. The focus is on relieving pain and treating symptoms of the terminal illness. In addition to treating the physical symptoms, hospice also addresses patients’ spiritual and emotional needs. As doctors and nurses monitor the individuals’ physical health, a holistic team of mental health and religious professionals, friends, family members and caregivers tend to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients.

Hospice patients are encouraged to accomplish goals, make amends as needed with those they care about, and take the time to say goodbye to family and friends. By acknowledging that death is approaching, patients are empowered to live the end of their lives on their own terms.

Staff is specially trained to be sensitive to particular Jewish issues. Sarah Chudnow staff members understand Jewish religious traditions, such as keeping kosher and observing the Sabbath. They will sensitively accommodate the religious needs of patients and family members.

The hospice rooms are specifically designed to provide comfort and serenity. Each room opens into an outdoor enclosed courtyard and allows patients and their families to remain connected to the outdoors. Other amenities include a spacious lounge and kitchen area and a private quiet room.
