Hospice care is a type of health care that focuses on relieving a terminally ill patient's pain and other symptoms while attending to their emotional and spiritual needs at the end of life. It emphasizes comfort and quality of life rather than aggressive, life-prolonging treatment, serving as an alternative for patients whose goals are not served by continuing such treatment.
