Feedback:
Hospice provides care for clients diagnosed with a terminal illness whose life expectancy is fewer than 6 months. Hospices allow terminally ill clients to live as fully as possible while managing pain, discomfort, and other symptoms. Rehabilitation centers provide physical and occupational therapy to clients and families to help individuals regain as much independence with ADLs as possible. Intermediate care facilities (ICFs) are nursing homes that provide custodial care for people who cannot care for themselves because of mental or physical disabilities. Ambulatory care is also outpatient care.
