About the VNSNY Hospice Residence
In June 2006, VNSNY Hospice Care proudly opened Manhattan’s first hospice residence, the Shirley Goodman and Himan Brown Hospice Residence. Located on the 16th floor of the Carnegie East enriched housing facility for senior citizens on Second Avenue between 95th and 96th Streets, the Residence provides support and nursing care in a safe environment.
Homelike, with private bathrooms, cheerful common areas, and an expansive outdoor terrace, the Shirley Goodman and Himan Brown Hospice Residence is a sparkling gem of the city. Able to accommodate eight people at one time, it is especially appropriate for those who have lived alone and may have no one available to care for them or for those whose families are unable to provide end-of-life care.
A team of hospice clinicians – including physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, chaplains, and volunteers – support the emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of each patient. Patients may also continue to receive care from their personal physicians. VNSNY provides housekeeping, meals, medications, supplies and any medical equipment related to the patient’s hospice diagnosis. The residence will be staffed 24/7 by a nurse and home health aide, guaranteeing compassionate professional care at all times. There are no restrictions on visiting and the residence accommodates overnight stays by family.
