About Hospice
It’s important to interview and choose a hospice that respects your priorities and beliefs, and will honor your end-of-life care choices. Some hospices support the full range of end-of-life options such as palliative sedation, voluntary stopping eating and drinking (VSED) and medical aid in dying, while others may not.

Hospice can be provided wherever the person resides, most often at home, but also at a hospice center, hospital, or nursing home.
