What is hospice care? 

Hospice might be an option for you or your loved one who is suffering from terminal illness such as cancer, heart failure, dementia, kidney failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and more.  Hospice care is for patients who are nearing end of life and curative care is no longer an option for them. 

Hospice care services are provided by a team of healthcare professionals who are fully trained to comfort reduce the pain by addressing physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs. In reality, Hospice care is much more than a place where people go for the remainder of their days.  It is a service that allows patients to live a life that is as enjoyable as possible while controlling pain and managing symptoms. Hospice does not expedite the onset of death, but rather provide an opportunity for patients seeking to improve their quality of life.
