What is Hospice Care
Hospice care is a type of care provided to support a terminally ill patient at home or wherever he or she lives. A terminal patient is defined as a person having reached a point where nothing more can be done to cure someone. Either it be in a nursing homes, and assisted living. The word “hospice” means “a place of shelter”. Today, the ‘place of shelter’ is not so much a physical location as it is a service that helps a patient who is terminally ill to die with dignity and peace. The goal of hospice care is to not only provide the terminally ill patient and the family with a comfortable death experience, and to enable the person to live to the fullest, even with a terminal prognosis.
