The right care at the right time.

Monmouth Medical Center Hospice Team Named Among the Best!

For more than 25 years, the caring, compassionate professionals of the nationally-renowned Saint Barnabas Hospice and Palliative Care Center have provided exceptional physical, emotional and spiritual support to patients and families during life’s final stages.

The Center at Monmouth Medical Center offers inpatient and home care, as well as services in long-term care and assisted living residences. 

Inpatient care is provided on a well-appointed 10-bed unit on the 6th floor of Monmouth Medical Center.  The Unit, which opened in November 2000, provides symptom management in an acute care setting for terminally ill patients. Individuals are cared for in a peaceful home-like environment by the hospice interdisciplinary team and may be admitted to the unit directly from their home or from the hospital. Each patient's physician coordinates with the team regarding medical management. Visiting hours are not restricted and families may remain with the patient as desired.  The unit features a dedicated family room and meditation area for individuals to relax and enjoy time with loved ones.

If needed, transition to home care hospice progresses smoothly, with all necessary equipment and medications in place prior to the patient leaving the unit.   Home care nurses work closely with the inpatient staff to assure that the plan of care is continued. Patients on home care, regardless of whether they are admitted directly to the service from home or through the Inpatient Unit, always have the option of returning to the Unit if further inpatient management is needed.
