Understanding Hospice Care
Hospice is not about giving up.
It is about making comfort, dignity and quality of life the priority.
Hospice provides specialized care for people living with a life-limiting illness. Rather than focusing on curing the illness, the hospice team focuses on managing pain and symptoms, supporting daily comfort, and helping patients and families make the most of the time they have
together.
What hospice includes :
- Nursing care and symptom management
- Physician oversight
- Hospice aide services
- Social work support
- Spiritual care
- Medications related to the hospice diagnosis
