Since 1960, an inverted yield curveâone with higher short-term rates than long-term ratesâhas preceded all five recessions. So how does an inverted yield curve signal a coming recession? Although term premiums do change over time, most of the day-to-day movement in the yield curve reflects changes in market expectations of future short-term interest rates. A steepening yield curveâthat is, one with an increasing spread between long- and short-term ratesâusually implies an expectation of higher short-term rates in the future.
1 Hospice care is for people with cancer that cannot be cured who are expected to live six months or less. 2  It is high-quality, compassionate care that focuses on relieving symptoms and helping patients and families cope with death and dying.
When most people think of hospice care, they think of an inpatient facility or hospital. Hospice can provide inpatient care for those in nursing or other facilities but we can also help those who wish to remain in their own homes. Many people want to stay in a familiar environment and remain as close as possible to loved ones. We believe hospice care should be available where the patient lives, no matter where that is. Understandably, providing care to a terminally ill person can be emotionally difficult and physically stressful. Hospice services can include respite care, where we offer caregivers a short break to rest and recharge.
