What hospice does not tell you : Hospice care provides valuable end-of-life support, but there are some aspects they may not always emphasise. Hospice care focuses on comfort, pain management, and emotional support for the patient and family. However, some patients may not fully understand that opting for hospice means forgoing curative treatments. Additionally, discussions about prognosis and final stages of life can be challenging but crucial. Open communication and clarifying expectations can help families make informed decisions.
