For someone with a terminal illness

It’s never too early to learn about the benefits of hospice care. The unfortunate myth about hospice care is that it’s for people in the last days of their lives. The reality is that, in many cases, hospice care can actually help people live longer. In virtually every case, hospice care brings significant comfort, peace and dignity to patients who are fearful, vulnerable, confused or exhausted from curative medical treatments that have failed to stop the progress of their illness.
