David dispels some myths and sets the record straight about what hospice or “end-of-life care” is and what it is not. Patty explains the difference between hospice and palliative care and how each service is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and situation. David shares the many awards KC Hospice earned in 2025 and how KC Hospice exceeds state and national performance averages, and he shares the top three indicators of a quality hospice provider and questions to ask when choosing a hospice provider.

Steve explains why you must be very cautious when reading online reviews of senior care communities.
