We had hospice care for my dad 33 years ago. As you said, quality of life. He was kept very comfortable at home by his hospice care nurse/team. She/they not only cared for him, but kept the rest of the family comforted with the decisions he made about his end of life care. He was only 52 when he passed.
More recently, my wife's parents went through hospice care during their last weeks. Dad passed almost 6 years ago, and mom almost 3 years ago.
I agree with you, hospice helps everyone involved say goodbye in a comfortable dignified way.
