depending on the patient’s
choice and circum stances
can also be provided at a

This is a question our

people think that Hospice is

dictionary definition defines
hospice as: “nursing home

many don't understand what
we are talking about.
“ H o sp ice ” is a
program to provide care for
people nearing the end of
their lives, whose illness is no
longer responsive to curative
treatment. The control of
pain and other distressing
