Hospice is a special kind of care designed for individuals with a Terminal Diagnosis. Hospice is more than the last few days of someones life. Hospice emphasizes palliative rather than curative treatment; quality rather than quantity of life. The patient and their family are both included in the plan of care; emotional, spiritual and practical support is given based on the patient’s wishes and family’s needs.
