hospices

Hospices are specialized healthcare services dedicated to providing comfort, support, and dignity to individuals facing advanced illness or nearing the end of life. They focus on managing pain, relieving symptoms, and addressing emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs. Care is often delivered at the patient’s home, in a dedicated facility, or hospital setting. The goal is to improve quality of life, support families, and ensure a compassionate, person-centered approach during this sensitive time. Hospice teams typically include doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and volunteers working together to honor the patient's wishes and facilitate a peaceful transition.
