Established in 1980 by committed volunteers, Samaritan emerged as the pioneering hospice organization in South Jersey. Over the course of more than 40 years, Samaritan has grown to become the largest provider of hospice services in Cherry Hill and the wider Camden County region.
Our offerings have expanded significantly, encompassing a comprehensive array of services such as at-home and inpatient hospice care and palliative care. These diverse services are tailored to meet the healthcare needs of our community. We are ready to take considerate care of your loved one.
When you inquire about our Cherry Hill-area hospice at-home services, a nurse will ask for the patient’s contact information, diagnosis, and current healthcare providers. After gathering these personal details, an appointment will be scheduled for a hospice admissions nurse to visit the patient’s home, assisted living facility, nursing home, or hospital — wherever they are currently located. A hospice care coordinator will also reach out to your loved one’s physician for the hospice referral.
During the home visit, the nurse will ask for more details about symptoms, discomfort, medications, and more. You will receive a clear explanation of hospice services and can ask any questions. If you choose to sign up for hospice, you will then sign hospice election forms.
Once signed up, patients experience comprehensive care from our expert at-home hospice team, including a:

If your loved one encounters severe pain or other intense symptoms that necessitate ongoing clinical oversight, you may qualify for 24/7 monitoring at Samaritan’s inpatient hospice level as recommended by your hospice nurse. Located in Voorhees and Mount Holly, these inpatient facilities provide an ideal environment for hospice patients requiring enhanced support and specialized care.
Inpatient hospice may be recommended when a patient experiences severe pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled nausea or vomiting, agitation, or other symptoms that require around-the-clock nursing care and close medical supervision.
For patients receiving hospice at home, a hospice nurse will continuously assess their condition and recommend inpatient hospice only if a higher level of care is needed to improve comfort. Once symptoms are under control, many patients are able to return home and continue receiving hospice services.
