Mother’s Touch Hospice Care Model Hospice Care is considered the model for quality compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness. Mother’s Touch will build and deliver a hospice service model that provides expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient’s needs and wishes. Support will also be provided to the patient’s loved ones as requested and required. Hospice care focuses on caring, not curing. In most cases, care is provided in the patient’s home, but may also be provided in nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities. Hospice services will be available to patients with any terminal illness or of any age, religion, or race. Mother’s Touch Hospice care can be provided anywhere the patient considers “home”.
