what is hospic care ?what should I say about it?what else should be said?
Hospice care is a choice u can make to enhance your quality of life in a terminal stage.U can also choose to die at home with the support of family,friends and caring professionals.Over 90% of hospice care is provided at your home.The advantage of hospice care is that the providers have the skills and resources to permit u to live as pain- free,as comfortable, and as full a life as possible.It emphasizes comfort measures and counselling to provide social,spiritual and physical support to u and your family.All hospice care is under professional medical supervision.So,I strongly advise u to take hospice care.
OK,are u aware of advance directives?
thanks for the answer
