About This Provider
In simplest terms, hospice is a type of care focused on providing comfort for a patient with a terminal condition that has less than six months to live. In practice, hospice seeks to provide comfort using a multidisciplinary team to support the patient and their family during this challenging time. This approach includes a clinical team that sees to the patient's physical comfort through medication and various other palliative (comfort-based) treatments. A spiritual/mental support team helps the patient and their family make the best of their remaining time and prepare for the eventuality of death and its aftermath. "Hospice matters. The end-of-life deserves as much beauty, care, and respect as the beginning. Patients enrolled in hospice care live on average 29 days longer than patients not in hospice.

Hospice
Hospice care treats the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself. A team of professionals work together to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice care is also family-centered – it includes the patient and the family in making decisions. Hospice is a covered benefit by Medicare and other insurances.
