Patient Care

Hospice, at its core, provides palliative care and support for people who are terminally ill and for their families. People who elect to receive hospice care generally receive their care at home by a specially trained team of professionals and caregivers. Hospices provide care for the “whole person,” which means not only providing care directed at meeting the patient’s physical needs, but care that meets their emotional, social, and spiritual needs as well.
