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 decisions, daily care, and what to expect next. Care typically includes:

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

Care is provided wherever you live. You do not need to move to receive hospice. Many families appreciate staying together at home while still receiving skilled, coordinated support.
