Hospice affirms life.
Hospice is the concept
and practice of compassionate healthcare for patients
and families dealing with the final stages of a life
limiting illness. When a cure is no longer a viable
option, much can still be done. Hospice neither prolongs
life nor hastens death. Instead, Hospice focuses on
quality of life by:
 | keeping the patient comfortable in his/her own home or
place of residence |
| helping the patient and family gain a sense of control
and competence |
| promoting the patient's and family's dignity, autonomy
and right to privacy |
| enhancing the time the patient and family share |
