MYTH: Hospice is a place.

FACT: Hospice is a way of caring for individuals in advanced stages of illness– not a place. The majority of hospice patients are cared for in their own homes or the home of a loved one. Hospice care can be provided wherever an individual lives. We provide care for patients in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals.

MYTH: Hospice is for people who have no hope.

FACT: Facing a serious illness is never easy. However, even when life is measured in months instead of years, there is still a lot of living to do. Hospice can help individuals spend their final months doing the things that are most important to them. Hospice can provide the physical, emotional, and spiritual support patients and families need to welcome each new day.

MYTH: Choosing hospice means giving up all medical treatment.

FACT: Hospice places the patient and family at the center of the care-planning process and provides high-quality pain management and symptom control. The focus of hospice care is to enable patients to live the remainder of their lives as fully and painlessly as possible.
