Horizon Hospice is ready to have to have that conversation with you so you can take the next steps for your loved one’s care with confidence.
Hospice Care
When a loved one gets a prognosis of six months of life or less, hospice care is recommended by a physician. Hospice care focuses on giving your loved one maximum comfort each day.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is quality of life care for an individual facing a life-limiting disease. People given a palliative care recommendation can live for months or many years.
