Hello doctors, what does hospice care really mean?

It is comfort care: End of life care is often called hospice care. The goal here is to provide comfort care, minimize suffering and let nature take its course. No curative therapy is used any longer once hospice care has been requested.

End of life care.: Hospice is meant for those who seemingly at the end of life, although that end can still be many months away. The emphasis of hospice care is not trying to save the life, but to give comfort to the individual as their death approaches.
