Hospice care is available for anyone with a terminal sickness. Those requesting hospice care are usually near the end of their lives, less than six months to live, where treatment is no longer curing the disease. Rather than suffering from the side effects of the treatments, many choose hospice care. Hospice care provides comfort and pain control for the patient so the patient may live out the rest of their life as peacefully as possible. Whether or not to use hospice care is a decision that needs to be made by the patient, doctor, and family members, as it will take a team effort to provide for the patient. Discuss with doctors and family member for the best care for the patient.
