Many people are scared by the word ‘hospice’. It unnerves them because it is associated with the finality of life. But this assumption should be dismissed; this misapprehension is due to not understanding clearly the concept of hospice.
One of the most common wrong ideas concerning hospice care is that it means that the family has given up on the loved one, and ‘surrendered’ him or her to the hospice.
On the contrary, a hospice, like the Hospice of the Upper Galilee, offers a way for people to give the proper emphasis to the wishes of patient and family. A hospice care and support is designed to promote an easy and comfortable environment for both patient and family. In this vein, the hospice service is not meant to constitute an additional, financial, burden on the family; this is possible, among other things, thanks to the efforts of the AFHUG (American Friends Of Hospice of the Upper Galilee).
The care offered by the hospice of the upper galilee thanks to its care teams and friends like AFHUG, helps all the involved to pass the challenging time with dignity, calm and respect.
