Hospice is a specialized approach to end-of-life care focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life — not curative treatment. It is intended for individuals with a terminal prognosis of six months or less who have chosen to stop pursuing aggressive medical interventions. A hospice team typically includes a physician, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and trained volunteers who provide care in whatever setting the patient calls home — whether that is a private residence, assisted living, nursing facility, or a dedicated hospice house. Medicare covers hospice under the Medicare Hospice Benefit, and most Medicaid programs and private insurance plans provide similar coverage with little or no out-of-pocket cost. Palliative care is a related but distinct service: it focuses on comfort and symptom management alongside curative treatment and is available at any stage of illness.
