About Hospice: Hospice: is a program of care and support for people who are terminally ill. It is primarily a concept of care, not a specific place of care. Hospice care usually is provided in the patient’s home. It also can be made available at a special hospice residence. Hospice is a combination of services designed to address not only the physical needs of patients, but also the psychosocial needs of patients, their loved ones. Hospice combines pain control, symptom management and emotional and spiritual support. Seniors and their families participate fully in the health care provided. The hospice team develops a care plan to address each patient’s individual needs.
Hospice Care is end-of-life care for patients and their families. Hospice focuses on controlling pain and symptoms. Hospice care begins in the final six months of life and is usually provided in the patient’s home, but it can also be provided in a hospital or nursing home. Hospice care is a Medicare benefit. Hospice focuses on caring, not curing. In most cases, care is provided in the patient’s home but may also be provided in freestanding hospice centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities. Hospice services are available to patients with any terminal illness or of any age, religion, or race.
Services provided by Hospice to patients and families:
  • Manages the patient's pain and symptoms.
  • Assists the patient with the emotional, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying.
  • Provides needed drugs, medical supplies, and equipment.
  • Instructs the family on how to care for the patient.
  • Delivers special services like speech and physical therapy when needed.
  • Provides bereavement care and counselling to surviving family and friends.
  • Makes short-term inpatient care available when pain or symptoms become too difficult to treat at home, or the caregiver needs respite.
