East End Hospice Inc

The kanas center for hospice care provides all the services you would expect in a hospital--in a much more welcoming, home-like setting. Specifically designed, staffed and equipped for end-of-life care, the center offers round-the-clock skilled clinical staffing, state-of-the art equipment, and access to physicians, hospice aides, social workers, bereavement counselors, chaplains, and other specialists. Trained volunteers assist with care and companionship. The serene setting encourages visits from families and friends and honors a 24-hours visitation policy, which includes children, and often pets. Each patient suite is designed for comfort, privacy, and ease of care. In addition to the private bath, each includes a patio, space for mementos and personal touches, sitting areas and accommodations for family and friends to spend the night if they choose.

At east end hospice our team of highly trained professionals and volunteers offers bereavement counseling not only to the families of our hospice patients, but for the larger east end community. The zinberg family bereavement center services may include weekly group counseling sessions or individual sessions. The zinberg family bereavement care team is currently offering the following bereavement groups: loss of spouse, loss of a parent or sibling, loss of a child, general bereavement support groups, child and teen support groups, equine therapy groups and an upcoming spanish language bereavement support group. Groups meet weekly at convenient locations on the north and south forks, or on zoom. We offer training in grief and bereavement therapy to counselors, educators, therapists and health professionals, and importantly, offer bereavement programs to church, civic and community organizations.
