Hospice care is specialized medical care focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for people facing a serious illness. Instead of pursuing curative treatment, hospice shifts the focus to symptom management, emotional support, and meaningful time with loved ones. Understanding what hospice care truly is can help families make informed and confident decisions.
