- Abstract in English : From 1930 to the 1960s more and more and more people died in hospitals because caring for dying relative could not be accommodated in small apartments, attended by family member who were all working, or who lived at great distance from each other. With increased use of medical technology, death in the hospital became more and more depersonalized. An increasing number of people within and outside the medical profession began to question whether the hospital offered the most appropriate service and philosophy of care for the terminally ill. Hospice care in the home brings a multiproffesonal team of hospice workers to the bedside in a person’s familiar environment. Guidelines for garden and planting design are given.
