Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk

VNSHS provides quality home health care and hospice care in Suffolk County.

For 70 years, Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk (VNSHS) has been providing health care of the highest quality to patients regardless of race, religion, age, s*x, or ability to pay. With a tradition of professional, charitable, and compassionate care, our skilled home nursing and hospice services, inpatient Hospice House, home health aides, and community programs such as flu shot and blood pressure clinics and bereavement groups serve residents throughout Suffolk County. We provide post-acute care for patients in their homes, which may include assisted living facilities and inpatient care in our Hospice House. As an independent, not-for-profit healthcare agency rooted in the community, VNSHS understands the needs of the community. Incorporated in 1952, VNSHS is the first visiting nurse agency in Suffolk County and, in 2004, founded Hospice House, the first freestanding inpatient hospice in New York State. Hospice House is an 8-bed inpatient facility designed specifically to meet the needs of patients as they face the end of life and their families.

💙 Happy Social Work Month! 💙 Meet Erin, who brings compassion, experience, and understanding to every visit. She has worked with patients from all walks of life—including veterans, Holocaust survivors, and young patients facing end‑of‑life sooner than expected. Her approach is simple but powerful: meeting patients and families exactly where they are, building trust, and walking alongside them during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

"What I love most about this work is that it honestly feels like a privilege to get to know patients and be welcomed into their homes during such a vulnerable time." Thank you, Erin, for being the heart behind our care. ✨
