What is Hospice Palliative
Care?
Medical professionals, therapists,
caregivers and volunteers with specialized training offer
physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical support
to people living with a life-threatening illness and to their
loved ones. Every attempt is made to provide care in the setting
of choice – at home, in hospitals, in residential hospices
or in long-term care and retirement homes. Pain management
and symptom control is a priority to keep the person as comfortable
as possible while s/he makes his/her final journey.
