| Hospice Care, often referred to as palliative care or comfort care, refers to the special attention needed by patients with a terminal illness. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death; instead, it focuses on comforting the patient by addressing issues causing physical and emotional pain. Hospice care differs from other forms of health care in that it not only addresses the needs of the patient, but also the needs of his or her family. The goals of Bluebonnet Hospice care are to improve the quality of life for the patient and to support his or her loved ones. |
