Hospice care is about quality of life and making every moment matter Hospice care is a choice that can provide patients and their loved ones with comfort and dignity during an often difficult time. Choosing hospice care is not giving up; it is designed to help you transition to a different level of care when dealing with a life-limiting disease or condition. With Porter Hospice, you have choices on where you want to receive care — at our beautifully decorated homelike residence, in your own home, or at a nursing home or assisted living facility.
