Can a Hospice patient ever return to aggressive curative medical treatment?
Certainly. Patients can be discharged from Hospice and return to aggressive therapy or go on about their daily lives. A patient may relinquish their Hospice benefit at any time and return to aggressive treatment. If a patient’s condition improves, the Hospice team may recommend discharge. If a discharged patient should later need to return to Hospice care, Hospice will be available at that time.
