Hospice care is something many have heard of but truly know what it is. Medical care during the final stages of life is often invasive and traumatic, forcing a patient to move from home to hospital to nursing facility and back again, over and over. This usually results in unnecessary pain and discomfort with no significant benefit for the person. What is lost in this process is comprehensive care for the overall well-being; control of pain and other symptoms, and a comfortable, peaceful setting for the patient and family.

Hospice care responds to this need of “end of life” care. Hospice provides care designed for people who are in the last six months of a terminal illness, sometimes it provides car for much longer. Hospice replaces regular medical care. Instead of continuing with efforts to cure a disease, or attempting top briefly prolong life, hospice offers a coordinated plan that pays special attention to a patient’s comfort, including calibrated relief from pain and other symptoms. This can mean a considerable improvement in a patient’s quality of life during the last stages of a terminal illness that has a focus on the patient rather than on the disease. It cam also bring great relief to the patient’s family and other caregivers. Read more »
