What is Hospice
Hospice care is a type of medical care that focuses on providing comfort and support to people who are terminally ill and are no longer seeking curative treatment. The goal of hospice care is to help patients and their families manage the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of terminal illness, and to provide support and comfort during the end-of-life journey. Hospice Care is provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, home aides, and chapel.
Hospice care can be provided in a variety of settings, including inpatient hospice centers, the patient’s home, or a nursing home. The goal of hospice care is to help patients live as comfortably and pain-free as possible, and to provide support for their families. This can include symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and end-of-life care.
