    Hospice care is often provided in the patient's home with a loved one, friend or hired caregiver managing day-to-day care. The professional hospice team makes regular visits to support the patient and caregivers and to provide additional services.

    Hospice care may also be provided in other locations such as:
    • The home of the caregiver, friend or loved one
    • A hospice facility
    • A retirement or board and care home
    • An assisted living facility
    • A nursing home
    • A hospital
