The primary goal of a Hospice program is to help the patient with a life-limiting illness to remain comfortable, alert and able to participate in life as fully as possible until death occurs naturally and peacefully.
Palliative care is simply comfort care.
When aggressive medical treatment has failed and a cure is no longer expected, the focus of medical care should be to keep the patient as pain-free and comfortable as possible. All rights reserved. You matter to the last moment of your life, and we will do all we can, not only to help you die peacefully, but to live until you die.
