What is hospice care?
When a person has a terminal illness and is expected to live six months or less, they may be eligible for hospice care. This end-of-life care is determined by the physician or doctor; the family is involved with the decision and planning.
Hospice care’s goal is comfort care; it is not to treat or cure the condition. Support to reduce pain, called palliative care, usually accompanies hospice to help provide the best quality of life. The attending physician can continue to care for the individual.
Hospice health care can be at home or at a nursing or assisted living facility.
Hanover Hospice collaborates with the family and physicians to provide the best hospice care regardless of location.
