Hospice services are offered to people with life-limiting illness who have chosen to discontinue curative treatment. With a focus is on ‘caring’, not ‘curing,’ people receive services in their home, a nursing home, a hospital or a residential facility. Many of the same services found in a hospital setting can be provided in a patient’s familiar surroundings. Care teams consist of doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and specially-trained volunteer/bereavement coordinators who provide support and assistance at the request of the patient and the family.
