What is Hospice?
Hospice is a program of care and support for people who are terminally ill with typical qualifications for those with a life expectance that is six months or less. Hospice can also involve palliative care, which is pain and symptom management as opposed to engaging in ongoing curative measures. Everyone is different, and the hospice team can help decide what level of care a person might need.
Unfortunately, Hospice can also have a negative connotation, such as the idea that a person is giving up. Hospice is merely a way to manage chronic conditions with support from licensed, trained, and spiritual care teams. The main goal of hospice is to provide pain and symptom relief, while reducing the burden on family caregivers. Hospice and palliative care can be provided, wherever you call home, allowing a person to age with the dignity and support they need.
