Hospice vs. palliative care – What’s the Difference?
If you or your loved ones are facing a terminal illness, you must have heard about treating pain without medicines.
Are you considering comfort care for your terminally ill loved one? Confused between what to choose – palliative care or hospice care? While both types of care are meant to bring comfort and relief, they are different in multiple ways.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care focuses on helping the patient, living with a serious illness, ease pain. While palliative medicine do not replace other treatments, it help the patient deal with the side effects of the treatment such as shortness of breath, nausea, nerve pain and other similar symptoms.
What is Hospice Care?
Hospice care is specifically designed for people who are not expected to recover from the terminal illness. Hospice care is all about easing pain and helping the family prepare for the end of life.
People in hospice care generally have a life expectancy of 6 months or less and it is often provided at home.
Both palliative care and hospice care aims at easing the patient’s pain and improving his quality of life. You can reach out to us to get the right care at the right time!
