Hospice care is a specialized type of medical care designed to provide comfort and support to individuals with terminal illnesses. The focus is on enhancing the quality of life rather than curing the illness. This care is typically provided in the patient's home, but it can also take place in hospitals or nursing facilities. A team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and social workers, collaborates to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient and their family. Hospice care also offers bereavement support to help families cope with loss after the patient's passing.
