Frequently Asked Questions

Hospice care is a type of care that focuses on the quality of life for individuals who are experiencing advanced illness. Its goal is to provide comfort and support for the patient and their family, rather than a cure for the illness.

Hospice care is available to individuals who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and have a life expectancy of six months or less. This includes individuals with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, and other terminal illnesses.

Hospice care provides a range of services, including pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, medication management, medical equipment and supplies, and bereavement support for the patient and their family.
