What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is end-of-life care provided to a terminally ill patient. Hospice care is provided when the patient ceases curative care and medical treatment and has six months or less to live. Unlike palliative care, hospice care is not offered alongside curative care; it is offered instead of curative treatment. Hospice care can occur in a patient’s home, or at a hospital, medical facility, or hospice facility. Hospice care is designed to ensure a patient remains comfortable and pain-free during the last months of life.

  • Palliative Care: Hospice focuses on managing the patient’s symptoms and providing pain relief. The emphasis is on comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatments.
  • Medical Support: A team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and aides, work together to ensure the patient’s medical needs are met. They monitor the patient’s condition, provide medications, and assist with medical procedures as necessary.
  • Emotional and Spiritual Support: Hospice provides emotional and psychological support to both the patient and their family. This includes counseling, bereavement support, and assistance in coping with the emotional challenges of the end-of-life process.
  • Personal Care: Hospice aides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating when needed, offering additional comfort and support to patients.
  • Respite Care: Hospice may offer short-term respite care for the patient, which allows their primary caregivers (often family members) to take a break and rest.
  • 24/7 Availability: Hospice teams are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to address any urgent needs or provide assistance.
  • Medical Equipment and Supplies: Hospice typically provides necessary medical equipment and supplies, such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, oxygen, and medications.
  • Coordination of Care: The hospice team collaborates with the patient’s primary physician and other healthcare providers to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to care.
  • Bereavement Support: After the patient’s death, hospice continues to offer support to the family during the grieving process.

It’s important to note that hospice care is usually provided to patients who have a life expectancy of six months or less, based on their physician’s prognosis.
