What Is Hospice Care?
Understanding hospice care and how it can help your loved one live comfortably
Hospice care is specialized medical care focused on providing comfort and quality of life for individuals with terminal illnesses. Rather than attempting to cure the disease, hospice care focuses on managing pain, symptoms, and emotional support during the final stages of life.
Who Qualifies for Hospice Care?
Patients typically qualify when a physician certifies that life expectancy is six months or less if the disease follows its natural course. Common conditions include:
- Cancer in advanced stages
- Heart disease (congestive heart failure, end-stage cardiac disease)
- Dementia & Alzheimer's disease in advanced stages
- Lung disease (COPD, emphysema)
- Kidney or liver failure
- Stroke with severe complications
