Hospice care is the end of life care a patient receives when they have been diagnosed with a limited life expectancy or terminal illness. It is always difficult to hear the news that your loved one has a terminal illness, but you can help by making them comfortable in their final days.

Planning Hospice Care
Hospice care is difficult for family members because they must decide how to go forward. This may be particularly hard for the family caregiver, who has spent so much time with their loved one.
Families should develop a hospice care plan and coordinate their loved one’s care before a diagnosis in order to be prepared. We understand that discussing this with your loved one is not always easy, so approach your family member with empathy and encourage them to put their wants in writing.
