Supporting the family

Our dedicated Palliative Care team, also makes support of the family a key priority.

Palliative care and hospice care: What’s the difference?

While all hospice care is palliative care, not all palliative care is hospice care!

The goal of palliative care is to give a patient with an illness the best quality of life and to support their family. The patient in this case may not necessarily incurable and has every chance of recovery. Hospice care on the other hand provides is a type of palliative care (i.e. providing the best quality of life) for a patient who is terminally ill and may have only a short time to live.
