With the development of the human society, people have come to pay more and more attention not only to their life quality but also to the quality of their life before death. Hence the emergence of hospice. At present there are three types of hospice in China: the family type, the general hospital type, and the special institution type. Each of these types has its own shortcomings. Hence the need for social work to intervene in hospice. The paper discusses the viability and necessity of the intervention through the notion, channels and methods of intervention. The role of social workers in hospice is also discussed.
