Palliative Care vs. Hospice
What's the difference between palliative and hospice care?
Hospice Care begins after treatment of the disease is stopped and when it is clear that the person is not going to survive the illness. Palliative care begins from the time of diagnosis of a life-threatening or life-limiting illness, and can be provided concurrently with life-extending or curative efforts that are disease-directed.
Palliative Care: The patient has a life-threatening or life-limiting illness and the patient continues to pursue medical treatment options that are disease-directed.
Hospice Care: begins after treatment of the disease is stopped and when it is clear that the person is not going to survive the illness
