No. Hospice is a kind of care—specifically, comfort care for the terminally ill. The vast majority of hospice care is provided in the home of a patient or a family member, or in a long-term care facility such as a nursing home. Hospice care is also available in a small number of hospice residences and hospice units in hospitals.
