What is hospice care?
Hospice care is specialized medical care focused on comfort and quality of life for people facing life-limiting illnesses. It is about living as fully as possible during the time that remains.
Understanding hospice care
Hospice care is a philosophy of care that focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life rather than cure. It is designed for people with life-limiting illnesses who have chosen to focus on living as comfortably as possible.
Unlike other medical care, hospice addresses not just physical symptoms, but also emotional, social, and spiritual needs of both patients and their families.
Hospice care can be provided wherever you call home — your house, assisted living facility, or nursing home. The goal is to help you maintain your independence and dignity in familiar surroundings.
When to consider hospice care
Hospice care may be appropriate when curative treatments are no longer effective or desired, and the focus shifts to comfort and quality of life.
