Définition

  • Hospice refers to a facility where terminally ill individuals and their significant others receive care. But hospice as a philosophy refers to care provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals and trained volunteers to a terminally ill patient and their loved ones when the patient has a life expectancy of six months or less and the focus of care is on comfort, pain control (palliative care), and quality of life, rather than on curing the illness.
