hospice services

Terminal patient support

Hospice services provide care for terminally ill patients, focusing on comfort rather than cure.

The goal is to manage pain and symptoms while supporting the patient's dignity and quality of life in their final months.

Services typically include medical care, counseling, and spiritual support for both patients and families, delivered at home or in specialized facilities: She arranged hospice services when her father's cancer became terminal.
