Social Hospice is a collection of supportive services provided to individuals and families facing end-of-life issues, focusing on emotional, social, and practical assistance rather than just medical care. It aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their loved ones during this challenging time.

Medical Hospice is the standard, insurance-covered, clinically focused end-of-life care, while Social Hospice is home-like residential support to make hospice accessible when social circumstances (like lack of home or support network) prevent traditional delivery.
