What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is specialized care focused on improving quality of life for individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families. At ANX, our hospice team offers compassionate, comprehensive support — from expert symptom management to emotional and spiritual care — helping patients and families find comfort, dignity, and peace.
Who is Hospice Care For?
Hospice care is designed for individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness, typically with a prognosis of six months or less if the disease follows its natural course. Patients may have conditions such as:
- Advanced cancer
- End-stage heart, lung, or kidney disease
- Advanced Alzheimer’s or other dementias
- Neurological conditions like ALS
If curative treatment is no longer effective or desired, hospice focuses on providing comfort and quality time with loved ones.
