What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness, regardless of the diagnosis or stage of the disease. Hospice care, on the other hand, is specifically designed for individuals nearing the end of life, typically when curative treatment is no longer an option. Both services aim to improve quality of life, but hospice care is usually reserved for the final months of life.

If your loved one is experiencing pain, discomfort or difficulty managing symptoms related to a serious illness, it may be time to consider these services.
