Hospice Care

Hospice care: Care designed to offer supportive care to people within the final phase of a terminal illness and specialise in comfort and quality of life, instead of cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and freed from pain, in order that they live every day as fully as possible. Aggressive methods of pain control may be used. Hospice programs generally are home-based, but they often provide services far away from home -- in freestanding facilities, in nursing homes, or within hospitals. The philosophy of hospice is to supply support for the patient's emotional, social, and spiritual needs also as medical symptoms as a part of treating the entire person. Hospice programs generally use a multidisciplinary team approach, including the services of a nurse, doctor, caseworker and clergy in providing care. Additional services provided include drugs to regulate pain and manage other symptoms; physical, occupational, and speech therapy; medical supplies and equipment; medical social services; dietary and other Counseling Continuous home care at times of crisis; and bereavement services. Although hospice care doesn't aim for cure of the terminal illness, it's going to treat potentially curable conditions like pneumonia and bladder infections, with brief hospital stays if necessary. Hospice programs also offer respite care workers, people that are usually trained volunteers, who take over the patient's care in order that the family or other primary caregivers can leave the house for a few hours. Volunteer care is part of hospice philosophy.
