What is Hospice?
- Comfort and Compassion: Hospice care provides comfort, kindness, and support to individuals nearing the end of life.
- Guidance in Decision-Making: Hospice helps you make choices about how and where you want to spend your remaining time, ensuring your wishes are respected.
Why Choose Hospice?
- Patient-Centered Care: Hospice treats you, not the disease, addressing your medical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs, along with those of your family.
- Focus on Comfort: Hospice offers palliative and comfort care rather than curative treatment. Pain and symptom management allow you to live as fully and comfortably as possible.
- Family Involvement: Hospice includes your family in the decision-making process, helping you navigate end-of-life choices. Bereavement counseling is provided for up to one year after your loved one’s passing.
- Quality of Life: Hospice emphasizes quality over length of life. It neither hastens nor postpones death but affirms life, recognizing dying as a natural process.
