In this “EOL 101” episode I explain the difference between hospice and palliative care. This is an important piece of information for people making choices around end-of-life care and an area where there are many misconceptions. We all need to be well-versed in EOL options for our own needs and also so that we can help educate others. I’ll offer additional “explainer” episodes in the future!

This episode includes:
🍃 Who is on the palliative care (and hospice) team
🍂 Whole-person care is offered by both services
🍃 Who is eligible for palliative care
🍂 How and why to enroll in palliative care
🍃 The criteria for admission to hospice:
-Terminal diagnosis
-6 months from end of life
-Forego curative treatment
🍂 Both hospice and palliative care provide symptom-based, comfort care that focuses on quality of life
🍃 The main differences between hospice and palliative care (including financial considerations)
🍂 Why you should choose both types of care if possible (first palliative then transfer to hospice)
🍃 Why some patients may not choose hospice care but should still opt for palliative care
