What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment at any stage of a serious illness, while hospice care is focused on comfort for people who have stopped curative treatment and typically have a life expectancy of six months or less. Both emphasize comfort, but hospice specifically supports end-of-life care.
Does choosing hospice mean giving up treatment?
Choosing hospice means shifting the focus of care to comfort and quality of life rather than curing an illness; it does not mean giving up care or support — pain management and emotional care continue actively.
