Hospice Care in Beverly Hills

The word "hospice" comes from a Latin word hospes, which means "a guest". It wasn't until the 19th century in the United Kingdom that hospice was associated with care for terminally ill seniors and adults. The first centers for hospice care directed towards palliative caregiving were for tuberculosis and cancer. The need for caregiving of this type came about when hospitals could not sustain the round the clock care needed by dying patients.

Hospice care is a type of caregiving service that focuses on the comfort and relief of a terminally ill or dying person. This focuses on emotional support, basic medical supervision and spiritual needs. A-1 Home Care offers talented services for palliative care.
