Commonly Asked Questions

Answers to Your Most Important Questions About Hospice Care

Anyone facing a potentially life-limiting illness should be aware of all the care options, including palliative and hospice care. Palliative care can often be provided at the same time as curative treatments.
Hospice and palliative care both focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, but they differ in when they are provided. Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness and is offered alongside treatments aimed at recovery or cure. Hospice care, on the other hand, is for those nearing the end of life, when the focus shifts entirely to comfort and support rather than curative treatment. Both approaches honor each person’s needs—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
The primary goals of palliative care are to relieve pain and manage symptoms for people with serious illnesses, while improving their overall quality of life. It focuses on addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, providing support for both patients and their families. Unlike hospice care, palliative care can be provided at any stage of illness alongside curative treatments.
Palliative care enhances quality of life by focusing on comfort, symptom relief, and emotional support throughout a patient’s illness. It helps patients maintain dignity and independence, reduces stress, and ensures care aligns with their personal values and goals. This holistic approach also supports families, improving the overall experience for everyone involved.
The duration of palliative care depends on several factors, including the type and progression of the patient’s illness, their individual symptoms, and overall health needs. It may last for weeks, months, or even years, depending on how long the patient benefits from symptom management and support. The care plan is continually adjusted as the patient’s condition and goals change.
