Business Description

Hospice Care Services in Greenville
The focus of hospice is caring, not curing. Many people assume hospice is only called in the final moments of life. However, studies show that pain and symptom management is more effective when delivered earlier in the disease process. Fully covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans and HMOs, hospice is more about living than dying. That is because it is meant to provide the best quality of life possible for patients whose prognosis leads doctors to believe they will not live past six months. They are often in pain, particularly with end-stage diseases like cancer, in addition to the discomfort from previous treatments like chemotherapy. While hospice is considered solely a last option for the dying, patients sometimes improve and can be discharged from hospice.
