CalvaryCare^® in Manhattan, NY

What Calvary@Home did for my mother, and for us, was nothing short of a miracle. You surrounded her with love. You made her last days so comfortable. My mother always told me never to settle . . . to always go for the best. Now I can say, ‘Well mom, your little girl listened.’

Special thanks to the angels who provided the light for our brother Howard’s path. A truly exceptional staff.

My husband John was 56 when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. We had no idea of how to handle the process of dying. Until we went to Calvary Hospital. Medically, emotionally, and spiritually, you taught us how to handle John’s death. We weren’t afraid anymore.

In caring for your family member or friend, have you remembered to take the time to care for yourself? If the answer is no, you are not alone.

In times of crisis or stress, we prioritize the things that must get done over things that can be put off until a later date. Unfortunately, we tend to underestimate the value of self-care, putting off our own doctor’s appointments, eating unhealthy food on the go, and not giving ourselves time to rest. In order to continue to care for a loved one, we need to remain healthy. Self-care needs to be considered a priority.

Here’s the good news. Self-care doesn’t have to take a long time. You could try going for a short walk outside to get some sun and fresh air, taking a twenty minute nap, or even calling a friend just to chat for a few minutes. Even small things like these can allow your body to rest, lower your stress level and help clear your mind.

We understand how difficult it can be to find time for self-healing when you just want to be at your loved one’s bedside. The Family Care Center is available to you, to help you in this endeavor. Please take a few moments for yourself, stop by for a cup of coffee or join in on one of our many programs.

My Mother received Calvary at Home Hospice Care, and she was given excellent care by the nurses and home health aides… The nurses that come  to check on my mother were very professional, friendly and compassionate, and did everything to make her comfortable… With the help of Calvary we were able to honor my Mother’s wishes to be at home, and to die with dignity surrounded by her family.

“As a nurse for 48 years, I had never seen a hospital with such extraordinary kindness like Calvary.”

“After caring for his patients his entire life, all the kindness was returned to my husband at the very end… at Calvary.”

Memorial Day is a remembrance of the dead; the soldiers, contractors, tech reps, engineers and all the people that served and sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It’s their memory that we celebrate.

When my sister Lois was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I knew, being a nurse myself, that Calvary offered the best in end-of-life care. Everything I heard about Calvary Hospital and their nurses was true. I’d never seen medical care like it.

“Near the end of my brother’s life, I convinced him to leave Puerto Rico and come to America where they could handle his pain and suffering. During my brother’s final days we saw only happiness and love. God answered our prayers by sending us to Calvary.”
