Vocal music typically features sung words called lyrics, although there are notable examples of vocal music that are performed using non-linguistic syllables, sounds, or noises, sometimes as musical onomatopoeia. A short piece of vocal music with lyrics is broadly termed a song.
Hospice & Palliative Care. When is it time for Hospice? Hospice care usually applies during the last six months of life but if youâre asking this question, now might be the right time to get in touch with us. The team at Center for Hospice Care is always ready to help you and your loved ones make plans.
Unlike palliative care, hospice care is triggered by a timeframe. A patient cannot be recommended for hospice care unless and until a doctor (and in some states, two doctors) certifies that the patient is within six months of the end of his or her life. Hospice care may include some forms of palliative care. The difference is that hospice care provides no expectation or even suggestion of a cure. Hospice is intended only to manage symptoms, to keep the patient comfortable until he or she dies.
