When There's No Hope of Curing, You Need Caring—Hospice FAQs
When someone has a terminal illness or progressive illness, the focus shifts at some point from "trying to cure the disease" to "managing your care." That's what hospice care is all about.
Hospice care is an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on symptom management, quality of life, and coordination of care. It's designed to help people enjoy the remainder of their life and as much as possible. It's also designed to support the emotional and spiritual needs of the dying—and their family members—throughout the end-of-life process.
