Abstract

Hospice care plays a crucial role in providing comfort, dignity, and support for individuals facing terminal illnesses. Unlike curative treatments, hospice focuses on enhancing quality of life, alleviating pain, and addressing the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of patients and their families. As a place of peace, hospice care ensures that individuals spend their final days in a compassionate, supportive environment. This article explores the role of hospice in end-of-life care, highlighting its philosophy, services, challenges, and the impact it has on patients and families.
