Who Needs Palliative Care?
Many people confuse palliative care for hospice. While similar, the most significant difference between the two is that your loved one can use palliative care for years while hospice is end-of-life care.
Anyone with serious illnesses can receive palliative care, regardless of their life expectancy. The most common reasons people need palliative care are:
- Cancer
- Chronic heart failure (CHF)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Dementia
- Parkinsons
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
