Hospice is a type of care designed to provide comfort and support to individuals with terminal illnesses. It focuses on improving the quality of life for patients and their families rather than attempting to cure the illness. Hospice care can be provided at home, in a hospital, or in a specialized facility, and it includes medical, emotional, and spiritual support. The hospice team typically consists of doctors, nurses, social workers, and volunteers who work together to address the needs of the patient and their family. This approach ensures that patients receive compassionate care tailored to their preferences and values during their final stages of life.
