What is hospice care?
At the end of life, when a person has a terminal illness and is expected to live six months or less, they may be able to use hospice care. The physician or doctor determines if hospice will work, and the family is involved with the decision and planning.
Comfort care is the goal of hospice; it is not treatment to cure the condition. To reduce pain, palliative care, is often paired with hospice care to help ensure the best quality of life. The individual’s physician can continue to provide care as well.
Hospice health care can be done at home or at a nursing or assisted living facility.
Wherever care takes place, Hanover Hospice works with the family and physicians to provide the best hospice support.
