Hospice Care

A comprehensive collection of articles and websites on Hospice Care that provide valuable information and resources to seniors facing terminal illness.

"Increasingly, people are choosing hospice care at the end of life. Hospice care focuses on the care, comfort, and quality of life of a person with a serious illness who is approaching the end of life.

At some point, it may not be possible to cure a serious illness, or a patient may choose not to undergo certain treatments. Hospice is designed for this situation. The patient beginning hospice care understands that his or her illness is not responding to medical attempts to cure it or to slow the disease's progress.

Like palliative care, hospice provides comprehensive comfort care as well as support for the family, but, in hospice, attempts to cure the person's illness are stopped. Hospice is provided for a person with a terminal illness whose doctor believes he or she has six months or less to live if the illness runs its natural course.

It's important for a patient to discuss hospice care options with their doctor. Sometimes, people don't begin hospice care soon enough to take full advantage of the help it offers. Perhaps they wait too long to begin hospice and they are too close to death. Or, some people are not eligible for hospice care soon enough to receive its full benefit. Starting hospice early may be able to provide months of meaningful care and quality time with loved ones."

Adults 50+ Overwhelmingly Want Palliative Care, Once They Know What It Is

"The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) asked adults 50+ in America their views on planning and care for serious illness and what matters to them. While unfamiliar with palliative care and advance care planning, when these terms are explained, people overwhelmingly want access to both. Most adults also trust that what matters to them will be respected by the health care system, even though conversations about their wishes aren’t occurring."
