Common Hospice Questions

Below are some answers to commonly asked questions.

  • What is hospice?

    Hospice focuses on providing care primarily in the patient’s home. Its primary aim is to improve the quality of life among patients diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death; instead, it puts a high value on patients' comfort, dignity, respect, and wishes.


    Hospice is not a place but a plan of care for patients with incurable medical conditions. An interdisciplinary team made up of physicians, nurses, home health aides, volunteers, social workers, and counselors work closely with patients to create a unique care plan to ensure their quality of life. Hospice care professionals are trained to address issues most critical to the patients’ medical, emotional, social, psychological, and spiritual needs to live their lives entirely without pain until the end of their lives.


    Hospice care includes the services:

    • Nurse and home health aide visits
    • Medical equipment and supplies
    • Medication for pain and symptom management
    • Respite care for patients at home, hospital, or nursing home
    • Crisis management for severe symptoms
    • Grief programs and follow-ups for bereaved loved ones
    • Assisted living visits
    • Crisis care

    Hospice patients and families receive care for an unlimited amount of time, depending on the course of illness.

In most cases, patients under hospice care are given a six-month prognosis or less. In essence, a patient who agrees to receive our hospice care in Dallas primarily to enhance comfort rather than curative interventions.


    However, our hospice care in Dallas doesn’t end after six months. Some patients may live well beyond their prognosis, which means a plan of care may continue if the attending physician certifies a patient's eligibility, and the patient wishes to continue receiving hospice care service and not curative treatments.

  • Is hospice care just for elderly?

    No. Our hospice care in Dallas is provided to anyone with a life-limiting condition, regardless of age.

If a patient’s illness improves or if a patient decides to seek curative treatment, he or she may leave our care at any time. Consequently, patients may also return to receive hospice care treatment whenever they wish to.
