Medical Care

Hospice care can be a very powerful support for patients and families. It is worth exploring. Because the cost and services provided for hospice may vary from organization to organization, it can be worth doing your homework before hospice is needed. Hospice care provides physical and emotional care in the months, weeks, and days before death for people with terminal illness. Hospice provides counseling to patients and their loved ones as well as medical care.

Hospice care can take place in a hospice building or within a hospital, or hospice care workers may come to the home of the person receiving services. In an institutional setting, hospice patients receive round-the-clock medical care. Patients enrolled in home hospice receive most of their care from caregivers, not medical professionals.
