Hospice care at home is one of the most common types of hospice care because ultimately, it is the care patients are most comfortable. For many patients starting their end-of-life journey, hospice care in a foreign room can make facing the challenges of a terminal illness even more stressful.
If you or your loved one is starting to receive hospice care from the comfort of their home, here’s what to expect with this level of care at Homage Hospice.
The Benefits of Hospice Care at Home
One of the biggest reasons why many hospice patients prefer receiving hospice care from their homes is that they’re able to control their surroundings. Unlike a hospital ward, you can control who and what is around you. Patients can surround themselves with their loved ones, belongings, and even their pets.
For those who wish to continue their cultural and ritual practices without interruptions, homecare hospice care makes this possible. Ultimately, you can create a quiet and comfortable sanctuary without the stress of entering a new and unfamiliar environment.

At Homage Hospice, our multi-disciplinary team, which is well-seasoned in hospice care, understands this, and that’s why we strive to make this transition as seamless as possible.
