Joining us today is David Spencer, CEO of Cabrillo Hospice. We discuss the importance of hospice and why building relationships is important even toward the end of life. Hospice is meant for a special relationship at a very intimate point of life. Support is important to be able to feel good and to make the best of the current situation. In a post-acute environment, hospice is important because if individuals are prepared, they have the opportunity to choose the type of setting and relationships that exist toward the end of life. Learn more today on hospice options and the importance of planning the post-acute setting.\\xa0
