Hospice is a concept of care that provides supportive services, as well as pain and symptom management, for terminally ill people and support for their families. During the illness, a team of professionals and volunteers addresses physical, spiritual, and emotional pain of both the patient and family. After the death of the patient, bereavement care is provided to the family. Volunteers are needed for clerical and office help. Hospice focuses on the quality of life remaining.
