What Is Hospice: Hospice Concept In its earliest origins, in the Middle Ages, Hospice was a place of shelter for travelers on a difficult journey. In modern times, hospice has evolved into a concept of care for patients, families, caregivers, and friends facing a life-limiting illness. Today, hospice care is provided by a physician-directed, nurse-coordinated, and volunteer-supported team of professionals who are committed to provide service to patients, caregivers, and family members facing a life-limiting illness so that they will not be alone and will not suffer from unmanaged symptoms during their end-of-life journey. Often people think of home care when they think of hospice, and in many ways it is that, and more. Hospice is an innovation in care built upon the concept of individual choice, and one of the choices hospice provides is the ability for a patient with a life-limiting illness to stay at home ( in their residential setting ) surrounded by family and friends.
