A limited hospice care program is a coordinated, interdisciplinary program of hospice care services for meeting the special physical, psychological, spiritual, and social needs of dying individuals and their families, by providing palliative and supportive nonskilled services through a home-based hospice care program during illness and bereavement.  Services are provided to individuals who have no reasonable prospect of cure as estimated by a physician and to the families of those individuals.

OHCQ oversees limited hospice care programs through licensure and complaint investigations.
