The word "palliative" means "relieving pain". Palliative care is one of the most important aspects of end-of-life care. It helps relieve suffering and prolong life. Hospice care is a service that is provided by a team of health providers at the end of life to help patients and their families through the difficult journey of illness and death. The goals of hospice care are to
• Reduce the discomfort, anxiety, and pain that can accompany the dying process
• Improve quality of life for patients and their families by treating symptoms that may be causing suffering or discomfort
• Provide medication management; physical, occupational, or speech therapy; nutrition counseling
Palliative care is delivered in a hospital setting or at a hospice center. It is usually started when a patient is diagnosed with a serious illness. The goal of palliative care is to
• Relieve the symptoms of the illness
• Improve overall quality of life and improve the patient’s ability to cope with their illness, pain and other symptoms.
The benefits of hospice and palliative care are that they offer patients a higher quality of life while they are alive, as well as being able to spend their final days in peace. If you want to learn more information, visit our website or contact us at +91 8178585213
