Hospices Hospices Hospice care is the active and compassionate care of people living with a terminal illness. Hospice care is part of palliative care that includes nursing, physicians, therapy, social work and nutrition. The modern hospice evolved as a response to the needs of people for whom a cure is no longer possible.
Hospices provide psychological and social support to clients and their caregivers.
Hospices are volunteer-driven and rely on the commitment and compassion of their members to help fulfil their mission. There is no fee for hospice care.
