Every person’s story matters.
Every moment deserves dignity.
At Swan Hospice, we honor the life lived —
and support the journey ahead
with compassion, respect, and love.

Many families say, “I wish we’d called hospice sooner.”
Early referral gives more time for:
• Pain management
• Emotional support
• Family connection
• Creating meaningful moments
Let us support you sooner — not later.

🌟 Feature Friday | Meet Our Swan Hospice Team 🌟

Today, we’re honored to spotlight Sidney Pabon, a Registered Nurse Case Manager serving our New Jersey community 💙

Sidney has been part of the Swan Hospice family for 6 months, providing compassionate medical, emotional, and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones during one of life’s most tender seasons. In their role, Sidney manages symptoms, administers medications, collaborates closely with the interdisciplinary care team, and supports families through both the emotional and practical aspects of the end-of-life journey—often forming deep, meaningful connections along the way.

💬 What Sidney enjoys most:
“Spending time with my patients and their families when they need a compassionate support team.”

💙 What Swan Hospice means to Sidney:
One of the most important aspects of Sidney’s role is providing holistic, compassionate comfort care, ensuring each patient’s final days are lived with dignity, peace, and the highest possible quality of life—with a focus on comfort rather than a cure.

We are so grateful for Sidney’s heart, dedication, and unwavering commitment to compassionate care. Thank you for being such a valued part of the Swan Hospice family 🦢💙

Having "the talk" doesn't have to happen all at once. Start with gentle questions.

"What matters most to you as you think about the future?" "Where would you feel most comfortable receiving care?" "Who would you want making decisions if you couldn't?"

These conversations take courage, but they bring clarity and peace. We're here to guide you through it.

🎄 Merry Christmas Eve from Swan Hospice 🎄
Wishing peace, comfort, and gentle moments of joy to our patients, families, and caregivers this Christmas Eve.

12/23/2025

Our Swan Hospice team spent time with the Thomas family at CC Ocean Grove, and it was truly a beautiful visit. The holiday playlist filled the room with familiar songs, smiles, and shared memories — and everyone there enjoyed every moment.

12/22/2025

Every day, we witness quiet acts of kindness —
a volunteer sitting beside someone who cannot speak,
a nurse calming a family’s fears,
a social worker helping a loved one feel heard.
Compassion is powerful, and we’re honored to share it.
