What is Hospice Care?

Hospice Care is designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible. Hospice Care provides skilled medical staff who help administer medications, assist with activities of daily living, create dietary plans, and provide assistance wherever possible to ensure a patient’s total comfort and well-being.
