Can a person have Hospice Care at home?
Yes, in fact, most hospice care takes place in the home, even though there are hospice centers, hospitals, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities that provide hospice care programs. Caring for a person at home, who has a serious medical illness, demands patience and compassion. Usually, a family member or close friend will assume the majority of the responsibility in providing the care at home and serve as primary caregiver.
