Hospice care, a form of compassionate care, is designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals and their caregivers who are facing an advanced, life-limiting illness. It embraces the philosophy of accepting death as the natural stage of life while affirming the value and importance of life itself. Rather than focusing solely on treating the disease, hospice care prioritizes addressing both the person’s needs and managing symptoms effectively. This specialized approach involves a dedicated team of professionals working collaboratively to ensure that individuals experience love and comfort during this challenging phase.
