Most hospice care is provided in patients’ homes. A primary care person (usually a spouse, relative or friend) provides day-to-day care. Hospice professionals provide direct care and teach caregivers how to address many of patients’ physical needs; a physician, nurse, social worker, and chaplain are on call. Medical social workers, a counselor, chaplains, and volunteers provide emotional and spiritual support.
