Hospice for Veterans

Veteran resources in hospice are crucial because they address the unique needs and experiences of veterans at the end of life. These resources, which include specialized training for hospice staff, access to VA benefits, and peer support programs, ensure veterans receive sensitive, compassionate, and culturally competent care that honor their service.

Veterans often carry unique emotional and spiritual burdens from their service, and veteran-centered hospice care ensures they have access to support that understands these experiences.
