What's the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Hospice is for people facing a terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less wherein comfort care is given without curative intent; the patient no longer has curative options or has chosen not to pursue treatment because the risk and side effects outweigh the benefits. Palliative care begins at the discretion of the physician and patient at any time, at any stage of illness, terminal or not where comfort care is given with or without curative intent. Hope this helps. READ MORE
