Palliative Care in Lincoln, NE
Misconceptions and General Understanding Of Palliative Care
If there is one term that is commonly misunderstood in the world of senior care, it may very well be Palliative Care. Often, people associate palliative care with ‘last days senior care’ or helping a person with a terminal illness be free of pain in the final stages of the disease. This can be true but isn’t always the case, and there are distinct differences between palliative care and Hospice care.
What is Palliative Care?
Definition and Core Objectives
At its core, palliative care has the singular goal of providing relief from pain or any other negative side effect of a serious illness. Palliative care can be provided to patients of all ages who are suffering from a serious, possibly life-threatening condition such as cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, or even stroke recovery.
