Hospice allows patients and his or her family to live as comfortably as possible by accepting their situation and living their lives to the fullest.
Hospice is where physical, emotional, and spiritual pains are met with comfort, care, and understanding. Hospice is a philosophy of care that centers on the patient’s comfort and quality of life rather than giving treatment to the disease. Hospice is a choice for someone who is terminally ill and has a life expectancy of six months or less. Hospice care is typically given in the patient’s home, in a hospital, independent facility, or nursing home. Patients are cared for by family members, caregivers, assisted living, or skilled nurses. When symptoms become too severe, a 24-hour care can be provided by Four Seasons Healthcare of Texas. As we offer Hospice Care in San Antonio Texas, our goal is to provide effective and quality care that constantly meets the needs and goals of our patient and his or her own family.
