A special concept in caring...
Hospice is not a place, but a concept in caring that provides comfort and support to people in the final stages of a terminal illness and to their families.
This support restores a sense of dignity and meaning to the patient and family, allowing each to live every day to the fullest.
An interdisciplinary team of professionals and volunteers provides competent care. Though most hospice services are provided in the patient's home, they might also take place in a nursing home, hospital or residential facility.
