Hospice and palliative care are specialized healthcare services that focus on improving the quality of life for individuals facing serious illnesses. Hospice care is provided to those with a terminal prognosis, typically with six months or less to live, and prioritizes comfort, symptom management, and emotional support. It often occurs in the patient’s home or a hospice facility. In contrast, palliative care is not limited to end-of-life situations and can be provided at any stage of a serious illness, including alongside curative treatments. It aims to enhance the patient’s overall quality of life by addressing pain, symptoms, and emotional needs and is available in various healthcare settings. Both services play crucial roles in supporting patients and their families during challenging times.
