Hospice services are cost-effective humane and compassionate care services provided to the patients who are in the last phase of their life and have completed the medical treatment course for incurable diseases such as congestive heart failure, cancer, dementia and lung disease. These services focus on the quality of the life instead of its length so that patients may live with maximum comfort in their last days. Usually hospice services are used when a patient is left with a life of approximately 6 months or less. The services provided include pain management, home care, inpatient care, spiritual care, family gatherings, respite care and bereavement care. These services can be used at home settings, hospitals, special hospice care centres and skilled nursing facilities. A team for hospice care generally include patient’s personal physician, hospice physician, nurses, health aides, counsellors, skilled volunteers and sometimes speech, physical, and occupational therapists based on individual requirements. These services also focus on addressing patient’s emotional, psychosocial and spiritual prospects of dying. Hospice services are individualized services and hence they could be very different for different patients.
