What is Hospice Care
Hospice care is a compassionate approach tailored to individuals confronting advanced illness, often with a prognosis of six months or less to live. It emphasizes on CARE rather than CURE by providing comfort, support, and dignity to patients and their families during this challenging time.
At its core, hospice care is about enhancing quality of life and managing symptoms to ensure that patients can spend their remaining time as comfortably and meaningfully as possible. This can involve pain management, symptom control, emotional support, and assistance with daily tasks.
Hospice doesn't imply abandonment of medical treatment altogether. Instead, it acknowledges when further aggressive treatments are no longer beneficial or desired by the patient. By shifting the focus to comfort and dignity, hospice care helps patients and their families navigate the end-of-life journey with compassion and respect.
