Is hospice care a type of long-term care?

No, hospice care is not a type of long-term care. It is a type of end-of-life care that provides comfort and support to patients and their families during the final months or weeks of life. Long-term care, on the other hand, is a type of care that is provided to individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living for a prolonged period of time, typically due to a chronic illness or disability.
