What is hospice in Westchester, NY?
Hospice care is specialized care that emphasizes comfort, peace, and pain management for those living with a terminal illness. Often residential hospice care is for those whose terminal illness cannot be managed by the family any longer. This hospice care provides the same emotional, medical, and spiritual care in a specialized facility rather than at-home hospice or hospital hospice.
