Hospice Care
Choosing a hospice care facility can be a difficult decision. We provide questions to ask your hospice provider to help you make the decision that's right for your family.
Palliative Care
For people with serious illnesses, palliative care providers can improve the quality of life for both your loved one and family. A team of doctors, nurse and other specialists work together to provide extra support.

Prison Terminal – Edgar Barens; Humane Prison Hospice Project
Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall is a moving cinema verite documentary that breaks through the walls of one of Americas oldest maximum security prisons to tell the story of the final months in the life of a terminally ill prisoner and the hospice volunteers, they themselves prisoners, who care for him. The film draws from footage shot over a six-month period behind the walls of the Iowa State Penitentiary and provides a fascinating and often poignant account of how the hospice experience can profoundly touch even the forsaken lives of the incarcerated.—Anonymous
