Spectrum Health Hospice

couple walking

The word "hospice" literally means "a place of shelter." It is also the type of care provided to support a terminally ill patient at home. Care usually involves relieving symptoms and providing psychological and social support for the patient and family. The goal of hospice care is to provide the terminally ill patient peace, comfort and dignity.

 

What services does hospice care provide?

Hospice services are similar to home health care services, but may also include:
  • spiritual services
  • 24-hour care or on-call care
  • respite care
  • bereavement support
