What is hospice care?
Hospice care can happen when a person has a terminal illness and is expected to live six months or less. The physician or doctor determines if hospice is right and, along with the family, makes the decisions and plans.
Comfort care is the focus of hospice. Hospice does not work to treat or cure the condition. Palliative care is often done with hospice care to reduce pain and provide the best quality of life. A person’s attending physician can continue to care for that individual.
Hospice happens at a person’s home; a home can be a residence or a nursing or assisted living facility.
Hanover Hospice works with the family and physicians to provide the best hospice care, wherever that is.
