Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice care treats the person rather than the disease; it emphasizes quality rather than length of life. It provides family-centered care involving the patient and family in making decisions. Care is provided for the patient and family 24 hours-a-day and 7 days-a-week. Hospice care can be given in the patient's home, a hospital, nursing home, or private hospice facility. See also Home Health Care Services and Respite Services.
