What is End-of-Life Care?
As you near the end of your life, hospice care may be right for you. Hospice care is a specialized type of care for a person who is in the end stages of their life. Hospice focuses on managing a person’s pain and other symptoms, so that they can live as comfortably as possible, and have the best quality of life possible, with the time that remains.
