Navigating the options for specialized care can be overwhelming, especially when faced with serious illness or the end of life. Understanding the distinct approaches of palliative and hospice care is crucial for making informed decisions. Both types of care prioritize the emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being of patients, aiming to enhance their quality of life. At Visiting Angels Palm Beach Gardens, we offer both palliative and hospice care services in Palm Beach County, FL, tailored to meet the unique needs of seniors in our community, ensuring they receive the compassionate support they deserve.

Palliative Care vs Hospice Care

What is the difference between palliative care and hospice care? This is a common question as the terms are often used interchangeably. While both palliative and hospice care share similar principles in addressing patients' emotional, physical, spiritual, and social needs, they serve distinct purposes. Palliative care is provided to individuals at any stage of a serious illness, regardless of their life expectancy, with the goal of improving their quality of life. In contrast, hospice care is specifically designed for those nearing the end of life, offering support and comfort during the final months of a terminal illness.

Palliative care for seniors can be a short-term or long-term solution. It is common for seniors to struggle with isolation or loneliness, depression and frustration. As they age, your loved one may be unable to do everything on their own terms, but this doesn't mean they are incapable of living an independent lifestyle. At Visiting Angels Palm Beach Gardens, we can help your loved one find comfort and make it easier for them to live out their golden years in their beloved home.
