To provide care for dying patients.
Basically, the same way any type of hospice care is provided.

the man dying went to the hospice to die
The term you are referring to may be 'Hospice,' which is a type of care that focuses on terminally ill patients.
It is called a hospice.
As soon as the care for the dying becomes overwhelming to the care giver, it is time for hospice. It is not good for family members to provide care near the end because they can not think straight, nor care adequately for them. This is not good for the hospice patient. Why would a family member not want the health care professionals, who are trained in this area, not to care for their loved one, to be in the least amount of pain and suffering?
Not necessarily. Hospice and Palliative care are somewhat entwined. Someone with a possibly terminal illness, can benefit from Palliative care, in the sense that the symptoms and care options can be addressed to a specific patient. Rather than a general prognosis/treatment of the disease. No, in the hospice I worked at we also took people who needed a lot of care after treatment.
Hospice care can take place at home, a nursing home, or hospice house.
Yes, unfortunately.
Not necessarily: hospice care is palliative care. But palliative care is not necessarily hospice care. Palliative care can be applied to patients with chronic, incurable conditions, such as cerebral palsy.
Yes, they certainly can have insulin if in hospice care.
