Our Stories

Many people can relate to Tony’s experience at Calvary and his appreciation for the dignity, comfort, and compassion provided to his mom, Lucille, and his family. When other hospitals couldn’t fully address Lucille’s specific Alzheimer’s needs, Calvary’s unique care made a significant difference to them all.

Prior to Calvary, their experience in other hospitals was disheartening, so much so it had shaken Tony’s confidence in hospital care. It felt like each encounter was stripping away his hope for finding the loving care his mom needed.

But when Tony and his family discovered Calvary, New York’s premier palliative care hospital and hospice, it was a breath of fresh air. From the start, Tony said, Calvary stood in stark contrast to other care providers and medical facilities. He was struck by the consistent love, tenderness, and meticulous care that every member of Calvary extended to his mother and her loved ones — from our receptionists and security staff to environmental staff, nurses, counselors, and doctors.

This is the exact effect Calvary hopes to impart to those in our care.

“Never, ever have I seen such love and tenderness from everyone…Mom was peaceful and treated with the dignity and respect she earned over 98 years. Honestly, so was my entire family,”
Tony commented about Calvary’s holistic care.

Here, compassion and expertise come together, offering unparalleled care to individuals and their loved ones.

At Calvary, we take immense pride in our mission and values: care, comfort, compassion, dignity, and non-abandonment.
