Palliative care is designed for those who have advanced illness but are |
|
continuing curative therapies. Care includes physician consultation and a |
|
continuum of support services for the patient and family. Palliative care can |
|
be a time to gather information about how an illness is likely to progress, |
|
including an assessment of current physical, psychological and spiritual |
|
needs and initial planning for end of life care. |
|
Hospice is personal care that focuses on pain control and symptom |
|
management, rather than cure-oriented treatments. Typically, a hospice |
|
patient has a life expectancy of weeks or a few months, rather than years. |
|
Hospice includes physical, spiritual and emotional care for patients and their |
|
families and is tailored to a patient's needs and preferences. Care is |
|
designed to bring comfort and is provided wherever the patient resides, |
|
whether at home or at an assisted living or nursing facility. |
