Alert and Pain Free Life

Today, hospice care provides humane and compassionate care for people in the last phases of an incurable disease so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. In essence, the hospice perspective accepts death as the final stage of life. Therefore, the primary goal of hospice is to enable patients to continue an alert and pain-free life. Additionally, hospice care strives to manage other symptoms as well so that the patient’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.

Affirmation of Life

It is important to note, hospice does not hasten or postpone death. It does however operate from a special perspective—the affirmation of life. Fundamentally, it focuses on quality rather than length of life; and treating the person rather than the disease. Also, it is equally important to mention that hospice provides family-centered care. In essence, hospice considers both the patient, as well as the family regarding decisions.
