Here for you, so you can be there for your loved one.
When your loved one is facing a life-limiting illness, so are you. But we can face it together. Since 2003, the L’Chaim spiritual enrichment hospice service has provided 24/7 pain management with comforting amenities for our Jewish families in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. We understand our community and maintain our traditions the way no other hospice in South Florida can. With Rabbis on hand and expertly trained medical staff, as long as your loved one is in the care of the L’Chaim hospice team, you’ll know that you are doing the best for them.
