Hospice care uses a team approach in caring for individuals facing a life-limiting illness, also providing support for their families and caregivers. Hospice care is usually provided in a patient’s home or wherever a patient calls “home” such as in. assisted living, skilled nursing, or residential care facilities. The Elizabeth Hospice provides its comprehensive care services throughout San Diego and the Inland Empire. More information is available at www.elizabethhospice.org.
