My MIL had palliative care when battling cancer, it is a great support with nurse visits, meds, equipment.
The difference between hospice and palliative care is hospice is focused on providing comfort and support services for a condition that is no longer treatable (and typically expected to be terminal in 6 months - although I know dementia patients who have been on it for over a year), while palliative care provides comfort and support services while the person is still being treated.
Yep. They’re awesome. Ours were on call 24/7 as well.
They need to check out of palliative still applies if Jim MAY (and I pray not) have to go back to the hospital. They outfit we used told us that ends on that point and we would have to re-apply (or doc signs off on, again ).
