A Hospice Agency is a licensed health care provider that delivers palliative and end-of-life care to patients with terminal illnesses, focusing on comfort, pain management, and quality of life rather than curative treatment. Hospice services are typically provided in a patient’s home, but may also be delivered in hospice facilities, hospitals, assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Hospice services can include medical equipment, nursing, social work, spiritual care, bereavement, and volunteer services for both patients and their families.
