Hospice care is for people who are in the last stages of a terminal disease or illness. Hospice is not just for cancer patients. There are many non-cancer diagnoses that are covered under the hospice benefits.
The goal of hospice is to relieve pain and other symptoms experienced as well as enhance the quality of remaining life by keeping you as alert and comfortable as possible in a familiar environment with family and friends.
Another goal of hospice care is to help caregivers manage all the challenges and tasks involved in caring for a dying loved one.
