“A paradigm shift of viewing palliative care or hospice as a gift instead of seeing it as giving up has the potential to change the way we experience advanced age.”― Lisa J. Shultz, A Chance to Say Goodbye: Reflections on Losing a Parent

Hospice care is meant for patients and families that are no longer seeking aggressive treatment measures. Hospice takes a holistic approach to care that focuses on pain treatments, counseling, and other services to help those with life-limiting illness and help them enjoy the best quality of life they can.
