What is hospice care?
Hospice care is end-of-life care. When a person has a terminal illness and is expected to live six months or less, the physician or doctor determines if hospice makes sense. The family is involved with the decision and planning.
Hospice care is comfort care which is different than treatment to cure the condition. Palliative care, or care to reduce pain, is often part of hospice care to give the best quality of life. The person’s doctor can continue to care for the individual throughout hospice.
Hospice can take place in the residence as in-home health care or at a nursing or assisted living facility.
At Hanover Hospice, we work with the family and physicians to provide the best hospice care.
