What is Hospice?
Improving comfort & quality of life
When a patient receives a terminal diagnosis, hospice care is a comprehensive form of home medical care that improves quality of life. Many private insurances will cover hospice, along with Medicare & Medicaid.

Hospice care is recommended when your loved one is experiencing decreasing ability to continue with daily life, including frequent hospital trips, inability to do daily activities, multiple changes in medications, increased weakness or falling, consistent need for oxygen or trouble breathing, and weight loss and/or decrease in appetite.
