Understanding Hospice Care
Hospice care is a compassionate, patient-centered approach designed for individuals facing advanced illness, typically with a life expectancy of six months or less. Rather than focusing on a cure, hospice prioritizes comfort, support, and dignity for both patients and their families during this difficult time.
At its heart, hospice care aims to enhance quality of life by managing symptoms, ensuring that patients can spend their remaining days as comfortably and meaningfully as possible. This may include pain relief, symptom control, emotional support, and assistance with daily activities.
Choosing hospice doesn’t mean giving up all medical treatment. Instead, it recognizes when aggressive treatments are no longer effective or desired by the patient. By focusing on comfort and dignity, hospice care helps patients and their families navigate the end-of-life journey with compassion and respect.
