Verified hospice care in Port Jefferson

Nothing verified in Port Jefferson yet. Hospice and home care are delivered wherever the patient lives, so the agency's office address matters far less than its service area. Agencies based in Smithtown, Woodbury, Long Beach, Uniondale and Melville routinely cover Port Jefferson. We only list providers we have confirmed against their own published information, so this list is shorter than the aggregator directories — and more reliable.

The Port Jefferson market specifically

Both John T. Mather Memorial Hospital and St. Charles Hospital sit in this North Shore harbor village, an unusual concentration of acute care for a town this size, and the cross-Sound ferry adds a retiree draw not found elsewhere on this list.

Port Jefferson families often compare Smithtown or Mount Sinai, both close by, especially when a specific hospital-system affiliation (Catholic Health vs. Stony Brook Medicine) matters to the family.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

Questions families ask

How much does assisted living cost in New York State?

According to CareScout's 2025 Cost of Care Survey, the median cost of an assisted living community (private one-bedroom) in New York State is $225 per day, or about $7,110 per month and $85,320 per year. This is a statewide median - CareScout's published state-level data tables do not break out a separate Long Island or metro New York figure.

What does a nursing home cost per day in New York?

CareScout's 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts the New York State median at $511 per day ($15,528/month, $186,333/year) for a semi-private room and $550 per day ($16,729/month, $200,750/year) for a private room, both based on 365 days of care. These are statewide figures; CareScout does not publish a separate Long Island-specific nursing home rate.

How much does hourly in-home caregiving cost in New York?

CareScout's 2025 Cost of Care Survey reports a New York State median of $35 per hour for what it now calls non-medical caregiver services, a category that merged the formerly separate homemaker services and home health aide categories in 2025 due to price convergence. Based on a 44-hour week, that works out to roughly $6,673 per month or $80,080 per year. Private duty nursing, a higher-acuity service, runs a New York State median of $120 per hour.

What does adult day care cost in New York, and could it help delay a move to assisted living?

CareScout's 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts New York State's Adult Day Health Care median at $144 per day, or about $3,120 per month based on five days a week, $37,440 per year. That's up from $113 per day in the 2024 survey, an increase of roughly 27 percent year over year, the largest percentage jump among CareScout's surveyed New York categories.
