Palliative care VS Hospice care

Palliative care is a comprehensive approach to care that can be provided to individuals with serious illnesses at any stage, regardless of their life expectancy. The primary focus of palliative care is to alleviate symptoms, manage pain, and improve the overall quality of life for patients.

Hospice care is typically provided to patients who have a terminal illness and have a prognosis of six months or less to live. Its primary goal is to provide comfort and support to patients during the end-of-life phase.

In summary, hospice care is specifically for individuals in the final stages of a terminal illness, aiming to provide comfort and support during end-of-life care. Palliative care, on the other hand, is a broader approach that focuses on symptom management and improving quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses at any stage, regardless of life expectancy.

Understanding the Importance of Palliative Care at Home

Palliative care at home is a specialised programme that aims to provide relief from pain, manage symptoms as well as reduce stress commonly associated with serious illnesses in a familiar environment surrounded by their loved ones.

Palliative care at home helps to improve the quality of life for patients facing life-limiting conditions. This is done by addressing physical, emotional and psychological needs through comprehensive pain and symptom management as well as end-of-life care.

Palliative care offers more than physical pain relief. It provides emotional and psychological support to patients and their loved ones, helping them cope with the challenges of serious illnesses. At home, it ensures patients maintain control, dignity, and receive compassionate care.
