Hospice and palliative care are the terms used when treatment goals change from curative to comfort care. Hospice supports the individual and the family when life-expectancy is limited and can be provided in the home or other locations where the patient resides. Palliative care focuses on making the patient comfortable (with pain control and symptom management) whether or not prolonging life is the goal.
