Hospice
is the palliative approach to a serious illness, when curing is no longer the
approach, but rather comfort and control of symptoms, emphasizing quality of
life. Hospice is not a place, but a
concept of comfort care that can be provided wherever the patient considers
home. It may be in a residential home,
an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.
