Palliative care is a specialized form of supportive care that focuses on symptom management and improving quality of life for individuals with chronic or progressive illnesses. This type of care is appropriate from the moment of diagnosis, even while the patient continues to pursue curative treatments.
Palliative care improves the quality of life for patients and their families. It prevents and relieves suffering as well as the physical, emotional, psycho-social and spiritual issues associated with serious and chronic conditions. It can be provided alongside other medical services, such as home health and regular provider visits. Palliative care serves as an added layer of support, helping patients better manage their condition and maintain comfort during treatment. This service is typically covered by Medicare Part B and some private insurance plans.
