Houston Hospice And Palliative Care is a type of care designed for patients who are in the final stages of a terminal illness. Typically, hospice care is recommended when a patient is expected to live six months or less. The primary focus of hospice care is not to cure the illness but to provide comfort and improve the quality of life by managing symptoms and pain. This care is typically provided at the patient’s home, in a hospice center, or sometimes in hospitals or nursing homes.
