Comfort care call
A hospice visit is a scheduled call by a healthcare worker, chaplain, or volunteer to a patient receiving end-of-life care, typically in the patient's home or a hospice facility.
These visits provide medical monitoring, pain management, emotional support, or spiritual care: The hospice visit lasted about an hour while the nurse adjusted her medications.
