What Is Hospice Care?

Hospice is specialized end-of-life care for people with a physician-certified life expectancy of six months or less. The goal is comfort, not cure. Hospice addresses the whole person’s body, mind, and spirit while guiding families through daily caregiving and decisions. Care typically includes:

• Pain and symptom management tailored to your goals
• Emotional and spiritual support for patients and loved ones
• Family and caregiver education to build confidence at home
• Grief and bereavement support after a loss

Care is provided wherever you live. Many families appreciate being able to stay together at home or within their senior living community while receiving skilled, coordinated support.
