Service Details

Description

A hospice is a health provider that provides physical, emotional, and/or spiritual support to people who are terminally ill (cannot be cured and the person is expected to die as a result of the illness) and their families. The core services provided are nursing care, physician services, counseling services, and social work services.


A hospice may be an agency or part of a larger organization. The care may be provided in a health care facility or as home care. Hospice home care may be continuous, or short term respite care (offering a break to the caregiver).


This provider is subject to periodic health care inspection by the Minnesota Department of Health. Many hospices are also Medicare certified.
