No, hospice care does not always mean that death is near. Instead, it focuses on providing comfort, support, and quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses. Hospice care aims to manage symptoms and provide emotional and spiritual support for both patients and their families. While many patients in hospice care may have a prognosis of six months or less, some may live longer and benefit from extended care. The goal is to ensure that patients live their remaining days as fully and comfortably as possible.
