The words palliative care and hospice can bring up fear before anyone even explains what they actually mean.
So let’s clear up one of the biggest misconceptions:
Palliative care and hospice are not the same thing — and neither means that your family has stopped caring or “given up.”
In Week 3 of Before the Crisis, we’re talking openly about:
• Palliative care vs. hospice
• When each type of care may become appropriate
• What questions families should ask providers
• Care at home vs. other care settings
• How to make decisions based on your loved one’s needs — not fear or guilt
And we’ll come back to one question that can completely change the conversation: What does a good day look like now — and what would help us have more of them?
