What is Hospice?
Hospice is not a place, but a special way of caring for those facing a life-threatening illness with a limited prognosis.
The focus of hospice is the comfort and quality of life; the goal of hospice is to provide compassionate care for the patient and family, not to cure the life-limiting illness. Preventing people from dying alone, in isolation, or in fear remains a cornerstone of the hospice philosophy.
Hospice care is available for all age groups - including children, adults and the elderly - during the final stages of life, and is available in a home setting, a skilled nursing or assisted living facility, and in local hospitals.
