Hospice care is for the loved one with a terminal or chronic medical condition. At this stage, comfort is the main component to good in-home health care.
Recovery care is for the loved one who has recently had a surgery or temporary medical crisis. Your loved one is encouraged and motivated to resume their independent living skills.
