Who Provides Hospice:

In hospice, an interdisciplinary team of professionals focuses on maximizing the quality of each patient's life. Team members include:  physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, social workers, bereavement counselors, chaplains and volunteers.  In addition to being experts in symptom management, the hospice team advocates for whatever is necessary and possible to meet each patient's unique, end-of- life needs and wishes.

When is hospice appropriate?

People with a terminal illness - as a result of cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, or end-stage lung or heart disease, or other conditions choose hospice when curative treatment is no longer effective or desirable, and does not add to the patient's quality of life. Choosing hospice does not mean giving up. It means choosing comfort and quality of life.  The Hospice benefit is greatest when care is received prior to the final days or weeks of life.  Patients and families benefit most when hospice support is provided over months, not just weeks.
