What Is Hospice?

Care That Puts Comfort First

Hospice care is for people with a serious illness who are no longer seeking treatments to cure it. The goal shifts to making sure a person feels as comfortable and loved as possible in the time they have left.

A hospice team — nurses, doctors, social workers, chaplains, and aides — supports the whole family. Most care happens at home. Medicare covers hospice for most patients at little or no cost.

Common Questions

We Get Asked These a Lot

Is this website free to use?

Yes, completely free. No sign-ups, no fees. We do not charge hospice providers to be listed — all data comes directly from the federal government (CMS). No one can pay to rank higher here.

Where does your data come from?

All provider data comes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider Data Catalog, February 2026 release. Quality scores cover April 2024 through March 2025.

Can I trust the quality scores?

Yes. These are official Medicare quality measures collected directly from hospice providers and published by the federal government. A score of 95% means the hospice performed a care step for 95 out of every 100 patients who needed it.

Do I have to be dying to use hospice?

A doctor must certify a life expectancy of six months or less. But many people live longer while in hospice — some improve enough to leave and return to regular care. Hospice is not giving up. It is choosing quality of life.
