A: Hospice is a type of end-of-life care that begins once curative treatments for a terminal condition cease. The aim of hospice care is to maximize the comfort, function, dignity and autonomy of the patient during their final days, weeks or months of life. Hospice care also provides support and resources for caregivers.
The multi-disciplinary hospice team offers a broad range of services including palliative care, physical therapy, home health aide services, counseling, bereavement services, social work and more.
