Exploring the Compassionate World of Hospice Care

Hospice is a vital part of healthcare with this compassion-driven type of care focusing on end-of-life care versus curing and prolonging life. Their end-of-life care includes emphasis on personalized care plans, managing symptoms and pain, improving quality of life, assisting with emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual aspects of death, providing supplies and equipment, helping teach families how to care/interact with the patient, and delivering special services including physical therapy or music and art therapy.
