What is Hospice at Home?

Hospice at Home is an integral component of community adult palliative care bringing the skills, ethos and practical care associated with the Hospice movement into the home environment, and putting the patient and those who matter to them at the centre of the care.

Hospice at Home services aim to enable adult patients with advanced illness to be cared for at home, and to die at home if that is their preference. Care may be provided to prevent admission to, or facilitate discharge from inpatient care for crisis management or for longer periods of care.
