A member asked:
Can you explain to me what 'end of life care' is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Palliative - Hospice: At a point when a fatal illness becomes un-treatable, palliative care may keep one comfortable and as strong as well as possible until death. Other, treatable conditions will be treated during this time and pain will be addressed. Sometimes this is in the home, but it may be inpatient. It is often part of hospice care. It may also include counseling for the patient and loved ones. Best wishes.
