Hospice Care
There may come a time when treatment aimed at controlling the cancer is no longer helping—or when comfort, peace and time with the people you love matter most. Hospice surrounds you and your family with care for that part of the journey.
Hospice is still care.
It is specialized end-of-life care focused on comfort, dignity and quality of life, while supporting emotional, social and spiritual needs for patients and families.
It is choosing a different goal for care: less focus on trying to control the cancer, and more focus on comfort, time, connection and what matters most to you.
What can hospice bring to the journey?
Comfort & Symptoms
Help with pain, breathlessness, nausea, anxiety and other symptoms.
Care Where You Are
Often at home, and sometimes in a facility, hospital or hospice residence.
Family Support
Guidance and support for the people caring for and loving you.
Help Around the Clock
Access to hospice clinical help when symptoms or worries arise.
Emotional & Spiritual Care
Support for fear, grief, meaning, faith and relationships.
Care After Loss
Bereavement and grief support can continue for loved ones.
You do not have to know exactly when.
You can ask for a hospice conversation before you are certain you are ready. Asking what hospice offers does not commit you to enrolling. It gives you information—and time to understand what support could look like.
Questions it is okay to ask
You are still surrounded by care.
No family should have to navigate this conversation alone. If you need someone to listen or help you form the questions, Say YES to Hope is here.
