What Is Hospice?
Hospice is a special way of caring for people who are terminally ill.
- The goal of hospice care is to provide care for people who are terminally ill by managing their pain and other symptoms.
- People of all ages who are terminally ill can receive hospice care during the final months of life. Such care includes not only medical care, but also psychological, social, spiritual, and bereavement services.
- In addition, the family of a hospice patient benefits from the education they receive regarding caregiving as well as counseling services designed to help them with their spiritual and social needs. At the same time, the provision of medical equipment and medicines helps ease the family’s financial burden.
