What is hospice care?

Hospice care is a type of care that focuses on providing comfort, support, and dignity to patients who have a terminal illness. The goal of hospice care is to enhance the quality of life for patients by managing their physical symptoms, addressing their emotional and spiritual needs, and providing support to their families. Hospice care is provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including nurses, doctors, social workers, and chaplains, who work together to help patients achieve a peaceful and dignified end of life. Hospice care can be provided in a hospice facility, in a patient's home, or in a hospital setting.
