Hospice Care in your area

Hospice is comfort-focused care for a life-limiting illness, generally when a physician expects six months or less. It is delivered wherever the person lives — at home, in assisted living, in a nursing facility, or in a dedicated inpatient unit.

Three things worth knowing first

• Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
• Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
• You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment.
