Programs and ServicesNursing Homes and Assisted Living FacilitiesFor some people, "home" has become an assisted living facility or nursing home. They can still have the comfort of knowing that Samaritan Hospice care is available at many long-term care facilities. The hospice team works closely with the facility's medical director and staff to supplement the care and relieve the pain and other distressing symptoms. Samaritan also provides volunteer companionship and assistance as well as support for family members.
Inpatient Hospice ProgramThe Samaritan Inpatient Hospice Center, located within Virtua Memorial Hospital (Mt. Holly) will provide Samaritan's signature care in a home-like hospital setting. The 6,065 square foot center features homey decor, 10 patient bedrooms, a family/living room, kitchen, children's playroom and meditation room. The Center provides short-term stays for the management of symptoms requiring a more acute level of care than is possible in the home.Virtual Tour of Samaritan Hospice's Inpatient Hospice Center
