Improve the quality of your loved one’s life by opting for palliative care, designed to address a wide variety of needs. When families hear the term "Palliative Care," they often have a distinct image in their mind. Typically, "hospice care" and "palliative care" are terms used by many interchangeably. Yet, there are several differences between the two services.

While they both have several similarities, palliative and hospice care, have slightly differing approaches. Nonetheless, at their very heart, they both revolve around bringing the patient comfort, all while improving quality of life. However, hospice care tends to refer to those seniors who are nearing the end stage of their life. Palliative, traditionally, does not focus on life expectancy per se. Rather, our home care aides aim to give care to increase well-being and comfort.
