Hospice care is a program designed to provide comprehensive comfort care as well as support for the family. Hospice care assists with comforting the patient and healing the family in the best way possible. There are many different aspects to the hospice care service such as patient and family centered care, physician coordination, social services, home health aides, physical therapists, spiritual support and counseling, music therapy, and bereavement support. It is important that hospice care remains humane and compassionate, so that patients can live fully and comfortably in the last phases of their lives.
