About Hospice Care
Hospice care provides comfort, dignity and support in the final stage of life, focusing on relief of suffering rather than cure, for patients and their families.
Hospices offer inpatient and home-based care. Choosing hospice does not mean giving up: it means prioritising comfort and the person's wishes.
