Services are delivered by an interdisciplinary team of nurses, social workers, physical therapists, home health aides, counselors and volunteers. A holistic approach is used in ensuring physical, emotional, social, and spiritual comfort. Services and support are available for the patient and the patient's family members. In order to maintain a comfortable, supportive and home-like environment, the Richard L. Rosenthal Hospice Residence offers its patients a host of amenities which include lavish gardens, private patios, warm and intimate family lounges, a cheerful kitchen and private bedrooms and bathrooms. Patients may add personal touches to their living quarters and family members are encouraged to visit as frequently and for as long as they wish.
Every bedroom is equipped with a daybed for family members who wish to remain overnight.
The essence of the hospice environment, as enumerated by a bright, articulate and warm 68 year old woman who has been a resident for a little over a week, is the love and compassion of the staff. A resident of Pound Ridge, New York, the patient chose to come to The Stamford Hospital because she felt it to be a superb hospital. She chose the Richard L. Rosenthal Hospice Residence because it is part of the Stamford Health System. It is the people. Their generosity of spirit reaches out and puts its arms around you.
