The hospice philosophy of care means providing comfort measures to an individual before death.Death may occur in the individual's home,in a hospital setting,or in an uncontrolled setting such as the community.The philosophy of hospice does not relate to what happens with the client's living will or power of attorney,rather it focuses on providing a dignified death.
