FAQs

Question.

Answer: Once the client or patient has been enrolled to a hospice program by the primary caregiver, the services are given at home by a team of hospice medical professionals. However, despite the fact that the hospice will offer round the clock care in a nursing home as well, they will usually have a facility on location or in some cases at hospital.

Palliative care on the other hand has a team that is made up of medical practitioners and caregivers who are usually where the patient is receiving treatment. They are tasked with ensuring that the patient is comfortable wherever they are. Commonly, palliative care is administered in an institution like a hospital or a nursing but rarely at home.
