Hospice professionals and volunteers are specially trained. They are committed to supporting the emotional needs of both patients and their families, and are trained to deal with medical symptoms. The hospice team usually includes doctors, nurses, home health aides, social workers, clergy or other counselors, and trained volunteers. The team may also include speech, physical, and occupational therapists, if needed. The hospice team will focus on your goals for end-of-life care, basing your care plan on your needs and desires.
