hospice model

Hospice care is a specialized, compassionate approach focused on providing comfort and support to individuals facing a terminal illness, typically when curative treatments are no longer effective. It emphasizes pain management, emotional and spiritual support, and improving quality of life during the final stages. Care is usually delivered at home, in hospice facilities, or hospitals, with a team of healthcare professionals working together to meet the patient's physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs. The goal is to honor the patient's wishes, reduce suffering, and provide dignity and peace at the end of life.
