Hospice care is for those with a life-limiting illness, whose focus is on comfort and quality of life rather than aggressive treatment and therapies.
Appropriate hospice diagnoses include, but are not limited to:
- Cancer
- COPD
- Cardiac Disease
- Alzheimer's
- Renal Disease
- Parkinson's Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
- AIDS
Medicare, Medicaid and many private insurance plans provide a specific hospice care benefit. The hospice team can help with any questions you might have about hospice care, or your hospice benefit.
