“Is palliative care available to someone with dementia?”

Palliative care consult is available for people suffering with any disease that is considered terminal. Dementia is also a terminal disease. Depending upon the progression and stage of dementia, your mother may qualify for hospice or palliative care. As a concept, both are the same. However, provision of services is more than likely going to be significantly different. With hospice, usually being more comprehensive with multiple team members visiting multiple times a week vs. palliative care could be 1 provider visitation every few weeks to months. I would recommend reaching out to her primary care physician to get further guidance and get a referral to palliative care if available. If palliative care is not available, request a hospice referral as they may be able to guide you with available resources.
Hope this is helpful.
