Hudson Valley Hospice
Hudson Valley Hospice is a Medicare-certified hospice provider serving Poughkeepsie, New York and surrounding areas. A Medicare-certified hospice provides comfort care and support services to patients with terminal illnesses and their families. Hospice care focuses on quality of life rather than curative treatment.
Hospice care is available to patients whose physician certifies they have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Patients may receive hospice care at home, in a hospice facility, nursing home, or hospital.
Medicare-certified hospices must provide all four levels of hospice care: routine home care, continuous home care for periods of crisis, general inpatient care for symptom management, and inpatient respite care to give caregivers a break. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers.
Medicare covers hospice services with no cost to patients for most services, including medications for symptom control, medical equipment, and 24-hour access to care. For more information about hospice benefits, visit Medicare.gov. Compare hospice providers at Medicare Care Compare.
Quality data and provider information are updated periodically by CMS. We recommend verifying current information at Medicare Care Compare.

Sadly me and my sister took care of our mom at home also under the care of hospice. They were very understanding and compassionate. As sometimes in these situations people can get very mean because they don't like feeling helpless but they had experience with all types of situations. They spoke with me and my sister and if we ever needed or wanted to talk to them all we had to do was say so. I never want to be in that situation again and I have to say they made it easier for us because we were extremely emotional and sometimes made it very difficult to get things done. Thank you all very much for the loving care you gave our mom. Thank you also for helping understand what was going on and how to cope and react to certain things. You truly are a god send.
Hudson Valley Hospice is a wonderful organization that has a staff who understands the process required to help the patient and the family as well. Nurse Angie is a true professional with outstanding compassion and caring skills, Kate (Social Worker) was incredibly sensitive and present, Chaplain Julie provided comfort with a spiritual connection, Nurse Barb truly added a skill set/dimension needed at a critical phase; I would not hesitate to recommend this organization to care for a loved one in need; angels they all are.

After interaction with them why my dad was passing, I would not recommend hospice care to anyone in general. They did not add anything of value to my dad's medical care as the regular nurses did pain management. The Dr with a Russian name and nurse Robertson were unprofessional and bullying when I asked medical questions. Nurse Robertson got me to angrily tell her, in front of my dying dad, "With all due respect, I was calling funeral homes" to which she replied, "Good." I will be filing a complaint against this practice directly with the company, the hospital and a complaint with the nursing licensing college against nurse Robertson.
Hudson valley hospice did a fantastic job of caring for my mom at home . they were kind caring .and so professional I would recommend them to any family in need of this type of care
Before we entered hospice for my Mom, our hospital experience was exhausting, frustrating, and somewhat disappointing. Hudson Valley Hospice was the complete opposite. Every member of the staff was exceptional: caring, knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and an excellent human being. The facility is peaceful, clean, and beautiful. They exceeded my expectations and made a difficult time much easier.
