Hospice Care

A hospice is a facility where patients go if their illness is terminal. A person opts to go to a hospice to make the transition to death more easily. The staff at a hospice assists the patient’s passing by making its goals for the patient to be as free of pain as possible, as small amount of anxiety as they can, and try to make it free of depression. They want this experience to be as comfortable an experience as it can be. Hospices are not there to treat a person or try to cure them but to help them pass on.
