A hospice is a specialized type of care designed to support individuals with terminal illnesses. The focus of hospice care is on providing comfort and improving the quality of life for patients, rather than attempting to cure the illness. This care can be provided in various settings, including the patient's home, hospitals, or dedicated hospice facilities. Hospice services often include pain management, emotional support, and assistance for families. A team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and social workers, work together to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of both the patient and their loved ones during this challenging time.
