Some truths about Hospice care:
Don’t feel too bad about not immediately
understanding the value of hospice care since many
professionals (including doctors) do not fully
understand hospice either. The first thing to
realize is that hospice is not a place, but a
concept. Hospice care can take place in a
stand-alone facility, in a nursing home, in a
hospital or even
at home. And contrary to any misinformation that
is out there, investigating hospice care does not in
any way mean that you or your medical team has
“given up.” Some of the best and most supportive
care I have witnessed for ill friends and family
members, as well as their loved ones, has been with
hospice care.
