Over 90% of patients prefer to die at home. Hospice care is for those with a life expectancy of six months or less. The hospice team includes doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. Patients can still receive therapies like physical therapy in hospice. Hospice does not provide 24/7 care; family involvement is crucial. Palliative care is available for those still seeking curative treatment. Hospice services are typically covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Patients can leave hospice care if they choose to pursue curative treatment. Early engagement with hospice can significantly improve quality of life. Sound bites: "Don't fear the word hospice."
