Hospice is a holistic program of care provided by an interdisciplinary team guided by the plan of care designed to meet the unique needs of persons, and their loved ones during a time when life expectancy is limited. Prime Care Hospice offers special care that treats all aspects of the patient and their families including their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Offers the patient the choice to remain at home or reside in a home like setting. Focuses on pain and symptom management. Recognizes the family to be an essential part of the patient's care. Emphasizes quality when quantity of life is short. Hospice is a concept of care being a natural process rather than a place of care.
