Hospice emphasizes control of pain and other symptoms, and dying in familiar surroundings. Hospice care is centered on the patient, family, and caregiver. Hospice personnel respect and respond to the unique differences in family or caregiver, lifestyle, values and wishes.
Using an interdisciplinary approach of Hospice ospice affirms life. Hospice believes that through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring attitude, patients, families or caregivers are free to attain a degree of mental preparation for a death that is satisfying to them.
