Concept of Hospice
  e live in a rapidly advancing world that has a lot of emphasis on curing illnesses and prolonging life. However, there is far less consideration for actually dealing with the end of life. Hospice recognizes dying as part of the normal process of living. It affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death. (insert link to article about hospice patients living longer)
Hospice focuses on quality of life for individuals and their families. Its aim is to manage pain and other symptoms so the person can remain comfortable and continue with daily activities. It gives each family the opportunity to spend their remaining time together in a way that is meaningful to them. |
