Hospice strongly believes that patients should spend their final days in a dignified environment of their choosing. For those patients who, for whatever reason, cannot stay in their home, a nursing home, etc., the Siegenthaler Residential Center at Hospice is a clean, bright, comfortable alternative.

The 4-bed Siegenthaler Center accepted its first patient in February 2005 following construction that was funded by a two-year campaign that received nearly $2 million in contributions from our generous and caring community. Since that date dozens of patients and their families have availed themselves of the Siegenthaler Center and the service of the compassionate professionals from Hospice's interdisciplinary team of nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains and volunteers.

With 24-hour nursing care, spacious, attractive patient suites, a kitchen and other amenities and a beautiful courtyard, the Siegenthaler Center sets a high standard for patient comfort and care, and central New Yorkers are justifiably proud of the excellent facility and vital service that their contributions have helped to establish in our community.
