Palliative Care
Understanding Eligibility for Palliative Care
Palliative care is for people at any stage of illness. The illness is not required to be life-limiting. Like hospice, palliative care addresses a patient’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
What Are the Goals of Palliative Care?
Palliative care patients can seek treatment to cure their illness or prolong life while getting medical help to manage their pain and other symptoms.
When to consider Palliative Care?
Patients are commonly seeking relief from pain, fatigue, nausea, or the stress that comes with a severe illness or the side effects of medical treatment.
Hospice Care
Understanding Eligibility for Hospice Care
A patient’s doctor and a hospice medical director work together to determine life expectancy. Because of Medicare requirements, hospice is typically utilized by patients with a life expectancy of six months or less.Â
What are the Goals of Hospice Care?
Patients in hospice are not seeking a cure for their illnesses. Their goal is to manage pain and other symptoms to improve their quality of life with the time they have remaining.
When to consider Hospice Care?
Patients sometimes decide they no longer want to go through painful or difficult treatments that may not improve or extend their life.
