After finding out what treatments are required you can be easily make an informed decision on when palliative care is needed.
Is palliative care the same as end of life care?
Not necessarily. While palliative care can include end of life care, it is certainly not always the case and can last for a longer period of time. Some people are able to live comfortably for many years while receiving palliative care. The focus is always providing support as you need it to allow you to carry on with your daily life within the limits of your condition.
Will palliative care cause me to lose independence?
Our Care Professionals understand that maintaining your control over your daily life is important.

The level of help required is likely to change over time, but Home Instead will be there to ensure you keep as your independence for as long as possible.
Should I continue palliative care after successful treatment?
During your illness you may receive successful treatment from your clinical team. Depending on the outcome of this treatment you may no longer require palliative care, however it may be beneficial to continue for a short while. During the recovery process it can be beneficial to you and your loved ones to have some relief from the physical and emotional stress a serious illness can cause.
