Hospice
Hospice is care provided to a person who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Hospice care provides you with physical, emotional and spiritual comfort, and helps relieve symptoms such as pain and nausea. Hospice also provides support services to your family and caregivers.
Eligibility
You are eligible for Hospice if you have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and your physician believes you are in the last stages of life, generally measured in weeks or months rather than years.
