Hospice, Palliative & Grief Help

HOSPICE CARE DEFINED
​“Hospice” Definition—a program designed to provide palliative care and emotional support to the terminally ill in a home or homelike setting so that quality of life is maintained and family members may be active participants in care (Miriam Webster).
 
Hospice provides comfort care as well as support for the family, similar to palliative care. But in hospice attempts to cure the person's illness are stopped. Hospice is provided for a person with a terminal illness whose doctor believes he or she has 6 months or less to live if the illness runs its natural course. It’s about easing pain and helping families prepare for the end of life. This kind of care can involve not only doctors and nurses, but also family members, clergy, counselors, or   social workers who can address the grief of dying and emotions (such as anger, sadness, or regret) that often come with it.
 
People in hospice care are often at home, where family members and professional caregivers look after them. Or they can choose a specialized center for hospice care. It’s also offered at many   nursing homes and hospitals. Hospice may be covered by Medicare and other insurance companies.

---

 PALLIATIVE CARE DEFINED
“Palliative” Definition - something that reduces the effects or symptoms of a medical condition without curing it (Miriam Webster).
 
Palliative Care aims to ease pain and help with other problems if an illness is serious but not considered to be life-threatening for now. It refers to a multidisciplinary team that works with the patient, family, and the patient's other doctors to make a person as comfortable as possible by managing pain and other distressing symptoms. Palliative care also involves psychological, social and spiritual support for a person and their family or caregivers.
 
Palliative care can be provided in hospitals, nursing homes,  outpatient palliative care clinics and certain other specialized clinics, or at home. Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance  policies may cover palliative care.
