Where can I find good lung cancer hospice care

Where can I find good lung cancer hospice care?
I'm looking for information about hospice care for terminal lung cancer patients. I'd like to know about good hospices. Where are they? Which countries have good hospice/palliative care for lung cancer patients? Any specific facilities? Any help would be appreciated.

If you contact a local hospital, they should have a list of Hospices. They have a list because they discharge terminally ill patient and release them into hospice care.

My mother spent her few weeks at Calvary Hospital in Bronx, NY, which is solely dedicated the palliative/hospice care of terminal cancer patients. I have to say that their care and services are truly outstanding, and my mother was made comfortable there, physically, mentally and spiritually.

Hospice is not so much a place as a concept. Hospice care can be provided at home, in hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility or in a hospice house. I do not know of any hospice which is specific for lung cancer as all hospices that I know of, and the one I volunteer for, provide care for all terminal illnesses. I* am currently visiting a patient who has terminal lung cancer and he is receiving care in his own home. Most prefer to be in their own homes if practical. I suggest you first consider a non-profit hospice. I hope this helps. Peace.
