Abstract
⺠Using concepts from existential geography we consider hospice as a homelike place. ⺠Through qualitative methods we explore patients' lived experiences of hospice day care. ⺠Hospice can be a therapeutic landscape which includes non-therapeutic places. ⺠As a place hospice helps to mediate transitions between the unhomelike and homelike. ⺠We propose three existential modes that illustrate becoming 'at-home' in hospice.
