 Hospice of Southern Illinois provides palliative (comfort) care for individuals faced with a serious illness when curative treatment is no longer the patient's choice or option. Hospice care is provided in the patient's home or a home-like setting such as a nursing home or assisted living facility and is available for patients of all ages.
The best time to learn about hospice is before you need it. At any time during a life-threatening illness, it is appropriate to discuss all of a patient's healthcare options, including hospice care.
