Making every day count.

When a loved one is diagnosed as having a terminal condition, it’s not unusual for family members to feel fear, anxiety and even loss of hope. But you — and your loved one — don’t have to go through it alone. The hospice services in Omaha here at the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home can be a tremendous source of comfort while maximizing quality of life during one’s remaining days.

We provide a home-like environment that includes sunrooms and a beautiful garden with water features for quiet relaxing visits. Let us take care of everything else while you make the most of the time you have with your loved one.

Prioritizing peace and dignity.

We work closely with hospice providers to create a personalized care plan tailored to individual goals and values. Services are delivered right in your loved one’s room, around the clock, so their remaining time is full of peace, privacy and dignity.

Family members receive guidance and emotional support throughout the journey, including help understanding what to expect and how to prepare.

For further questions related to hospice care or financial options, please contact Colin Heskin, the Director of Social Services, at 402-334-6533.

Hospice Care Frequently Asked Questions

What is hospice care?

Hospice care is specialized, compassionate medical care for people facing a life-limiting illness. It focuses on relieving pain, managing symptoms, and supporting emotional and spiritual well-being, allowing the person to live fully and comfortably in their final days.

When is the right time for hospice?

Physicians and healthcare providers may determine that hospice is the best course of action when someone has six months or less to live, should the illness run its expected course, but the patient or their advocate has the final say.

Will my family be involved in hospice decisions?

Absolutely. Families remain an essential part of the decision-making process, and we encourage open conversations and shared planning to ensure care aligns with your loved one’s values and wishes. We also strongly encourage families to take advantage of bereavement support during a difficult time.

Will my loved one be moved for hospice care?

No. At RBJH, hospice services are provided right in the resident’s room, eliminating the stress of a move and allowing care to continue in a familiar and supportive environment.
