| "Hospice care is about helping
people make the most of every moment they have, in whatever way
works best for them. It is based on the simple idea that a person
has a unique physical, emotional and spiritual needs and the belief
that every patient should be treated as a whole person. The highest
value is put on respect, choice and empowerment. At a hospice you
might have your dog to stay with you, receive complementary therapies
or have your family and friends with you day and night.
