Hospice care is a compassionate approach that focuses on enhancing the quality of life for individuals with terminal illnesses. It prioritizes comfort and dignity, offering medical, emotional, and spiritual support to patients and their families. Unlike traditional medical care, hospice aims to manage pain and symptoms rather than cure the illness, allowing patients to spend their final days in peace, often in the comfort of their own home. Hospice teams include doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains, all working together to provide comprehensive care tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes.
