*Hospice care helps patients and their families make the most of the time that remains. Hospice focuses on the patient and family, comfort and support, creates an individualized care plan based on the specific needs, wishes and values of the patient and family, includes physical, emotional and spiritual support, and occurs wherever the patient calls home.
*Hospice care is for people who have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, who choose to focus on comfort care over healing treatment.
