Understanding hospice begins with compassion. Hospice is a type of specialized medical care designed for people who are nearing the end of life. It focuses less on curing illness and more on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. While the word “hospice” can sound intimidating, its purpose is deeply human: to help individuals live their final months surrounded by support, peace, and care that feels personal.

Hospice exists to support quality of life during a serious illness, yet many people wait longer than they need to because the rules seem confusing. That’s why the caring professionals at Anvoi Hospice are here to help break down the steps, criteria, and practical preparations that make qualifying for hospice care straightforward, compassionate, and timely.
