Hospice & Palliative Care
Hospice is a type of care and a philosophy of care which focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's symptoms. These symptoms can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature.
Hospice can be a tremendous resource for caregivers and patients that can be implemented during various stages of the diseases, not just end stages.

The Parkinson's Disease Foundation has created an excellent resource piece about how hospice can be incorporated into the care of, in this case, specifically Parkinson's, but the information applies to the care of a PSP, CBD or MSA patient.
