Hospice care is a type of healthcare facility that provides end-of-life care for terminally ill patients. It is typically provided in the patient's home, but can also be provided in a hospice facility. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support to the patient and their family, rather than attempting to cure the illness. This type of care is often provided in conjunction with other healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Hospice care is typically provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. The team works together to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support to the patient and their family. Hospice care also includes bereavement services for family members after the patient's death. Some companies in the hospice market include Amedisys, Inc., LHC Group, Inc., and Kindred Healthcare, Inc. Show Less Read more
