What is Hospice?

hospice5

Hospice palliative care provides physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical support to people living with life-threatening illness and to their loved ones. Hospice volunteers are part of a caregiving team of family, friends, physicians, nurses, and spiritual counselors.

Sensitive, compassionate and confidential support can be provided at home, in the hospitals, nursing homes or freestanding hospice facilities.

Hospice palliative care helps make a very difficult life passage both manageable and meaningful for people facing death as well as for their loved ones.
