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 focus is comfort, not cure. Hospice supports the whole person’s body, mind, and spirit while guiding families through daily caregiving and important decisions. Care typically includes:

• Pain and symptom relief tailored to the person’s goals
• Emotional and spiritual support for patients and loved ones
• Family and caregiver education to build confidence at home
• Grief and bereavement services after a loss

Care is delivered wherever your loved one lives, with a plan that honors personal values, cultural preferences, and daily routines.
