Home Care and Hospice Care industry DefinitionsHospiceHospice is a special way of caring for individuals who are in the final stages of their lives due to a life-limiting illness. The hospice approach focuses on managing symptoms as opposed to curing an illness. Hospice services help patients, who are no longer seeking aggressive treatment or a medical cure, manage their terminal illness at home or in a home like environment. Hospice addresses the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of the patient and family. |
