Hospice is a philosophy of care. The hospice philosophy or viewpoint accepts death as the final stage of life.
The goal of hospice is to help patients live their last days as comfortable, alert and pain-free as possible.
Hospice care tries to manage symptoms so that a person's last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.
Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice care treats the person rather than the disease; it focuses on quality rather than length of life.
Although hospice care is patient-centered, it includes the loved-ones in making decisions.
