Hospices

Hospices are healthcare facilities focussed on providing end of life care to terminally ill patients. The holistic care model offered by hospices includes physical, emotional, spiritual and social support to patients and their loved ones. In addition, hospices also provide palliative care to people living with life-limiting conditions, with the goal of improving their quality of life. Hospices are widely regarded as an important part of healthcare due to the unique and compassionate approach they take to end of life care. They are also an invaluable resource in the wider healthcare community, providing specialized support and enabling family members to be supported during a difficult and emotional time.
