Hospice is a special form of care that is designed to provide comfort and support for those who are facing a life-limiting illness. It is a compassionate form of caring that promotes dignity and affirms quality of life for the patient, family members, and other loved-ones.
Who is eligible? Any individual with a terminal illness such as heart disease, pulmonary disease, dementia, Alzheimer's, HIV/AIDS, or cancer is considered eligible for hospice care.
