What is hospice?

Many people don't know what "hospice" means.
Some people think "hospice" is a ward in a hospital or a room in a nursing home, but hospice isn't a place.

Hospice is a method of caring for a loved one, when they need loving care the most. Hospice provides physical, psychological, social and spiritual care to both the patient and the family, so you and your loved one can live each day to the fullest.
