Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hospice is a specialized type of care for patients who have a life-limiting illness or condition and have a life expectancy of six months or less. While it is true that hospice care is intended for patients in the final stages of their illness, not all patients die within a week or two after enrolling in hospice. Some patients receive hospice care for several months before passing away. The goal of hospice care is to provide comfort and improve the quality of life for patients in their final stages of life.
