Palliative Care
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness, such as cancer or heart failure. Patients in palliative care may receive medical care for their symptoms, or palliative care, along with treatment intended to cure their serious illness. Palliative care is meant to enhance a person’s current care by focusing on quality of life for them and their family.
When someone enrolls in hospice, they automatically receive palliative care. But if you think you might benefit from palliative care outside of a hospice program, ask your physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant for a referral to a palliative care provider. Many hospitals now offer palliative care services, and many hospices have palliative care groups that operate separately from their hospice services.
Hospice Services
Hospice services are available to persons who no longer benefit from curative treatment and have a life expectancy of six months or less. The focus of hospice is pain and symptom control. Most hospices offer visits from nurses, home health aides, social workers, chaplains and volunteers. Bereavement services are offered to the friends and family members of the patient.
