Understanding Palliative and Hospice Care
Palliative and hospice care are specialized medical care services focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness. While both aim to improve quality of life, they serve different purposes:
- Palliative Care: Can be provided alongside curative treatment at any stage of a serious illness.
- Hospice Care: Focuses on comfort when a cure is no longer possible, typically for patients with a life expectancy of six months or less.
