The idea
Hospice is healthcare for the terminally ill that shifts the goal from curing an illness to providing comfort for the time that remains.
In practice
Increasingly, hospice services support care at home, since most people report preferring to die in a familiar place.
Where people slip
Choosing hospice is a shift in treatment goal, and it is not a withdrawal of care.
