November is National Hospice Month from Comfort Keepers Senior Care in Troy, MO

The hospice movement was founded in England over thirty years ago to help cancer patients "die with dignity." It was conceived as a way to plan the end of life for terminally ill patients. Hospice care covers everything from pain management to funeral plans. Although dying at home surrounded by family and loved ones is th central idea of in-patient facilities do exist. The hospice companies we work with here at Comfort Keepers see patients at home and nursing homes as well as other facilities.

Hospice focuses on the individual and their family, not the illness, and brings dignity to life’s end. It's always difficult to lose a loved one but having the support and care tailored to their needs can help people live every moment of life to the fullest, leaving loved ones with memories they can treasure.
