What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and can be provided at any stage of a serious illness, alongside curative treatment. Hospice care is a specific type of palliative care for people who have chosen to stop curative treatment and are expected to have a limited life expectancy, typically six months or less if the illness runs its normal course.
Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
Choosing hospice means shifting the focus of care to comfort, symptom relief, and quality of life rather than curing the underlying illness; it does not mean giving up all care or support, and patients can still receive medical attention for comfort.
