Palliative Care and Hospice Care Share the Common Goal of Enhancing the Quality of Life for Individuals with Severe Illnesses

Crank Denis

While both palliative care and hospice care aim to improve the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses, palliative care can be provided at any stage of an illness and is focused on addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient and their family. Hospice care, on the other hand, is focused on providing comfort and support to patients who are in the last stages of a terminal illness and is typically provided when curative treatment is no longer effective.
