Palliative hospice care, often referred to simply as hospice, is a specialized type of medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness, with an emphasis on quality of life. It is typically offered to patients who are nearing the end of life, allowing them to receive support in a compassionate environment. The care is provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and social workers, who work together to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient and their family. Hospice care can take place in various settings, including the patient's home, hospitals, or dedicated hospice facilities.
