Complementary Therapies (CT) are enjoying significant attention and growth in end-of-life care. Why? These modalities have the potential to increase quality of life for patients and families; one of hospice care’s primary goals. The integration of complementary therapies into the holistic inter-disciplinary (IDT) hospice model provides care teams with additional tools for addressing pain and symptom management, improving patient and family coping, and helping to facilitate successful life closure.
