What is hospice care?

Hospice is not a place but rather a philosophy of care. It provides comfort and a greater quality of life to those living with a life-limiting illness with a life expectancy of six months or less. Hospice uses a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to care for the patient and their family members. The hospice care team includes doctors, nurses, spiritual counselors, social workers, and volunteers.

When a person chooses hospice care, it means they have decided to stop pursuing curative treatment. Hospice services include:

• Pain and symptom management

• Spiritual and emotional support

• Medical equipment and supplies

• Support for caregivers, including family members or friends

Hospice care does not provide:

• Curative treatment

• Room and board

• Ongoing, around-the-clock care
