Hospice Selection

Hospice care is provided to clients who have a limited life expectancy. Although most hospice clients are individuals with cancer, hospice accepts anyone regardless of age or type of illness. Hospice is recommended for clients who have made the decision to spend their last months at home or in a homelike setting.

Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life. The dying are comforted. Professional medical care is given, and sophisticated symptom relief provided. The client and family are both included in the care plan and emotional, spiritual and practical support is given based on the client’s wishes and family’s needs.
