If the Doctor has suggested Hospice for a patient with stage 4 cancer of the abdomin what does this mean and what is the difference between Home Hospice and Hospital Hospice?

Thank you for your inquiry. Please connect with your friend/family member's nurse as she can better explain. Our case managers are also a resource to helping you navigate that care decision.

Home Hospice means Nurses will see the patient at home with supplies also if needed but if patient requires 24 hour care and lives alone then Hospital Hospice is best option. Hospice is recommended when a patient is near end of life they not only support the patient but also the family.
