Through our work to support the health care community and dedication to serving the state of Mississippi, it is no surprise that HomeCare Hospice has become known for the excellence of hospice and palliative care that we provide.
What is Hospice or Palliative Care?
Hospice and palliative care is the treatment to help a terminal patient live as well as possible by increasing their quality of life. They help address and ease the hardships of symptom management, psycho-social, and spiritual affliction that affects both the patient and their family. By shifting focus towards increasing the quality of life of the patient rather than the longevity of life, patients and families alike have a chance to find peace of mind to focus on the present moment.
