Hospice Care vs Palliative Care
Understanding End-of-Life Care OptionsWhen facing serious illness, it's important to understand the different types of care available including Palliative Care and Hospice Care:
What is Hospice Care?
A form of palliative care delivered to those who choose to de-select heroic end-of-life care and opt-in for symptom management, comfort care, and pain relief. Hospice care is provided as a Medicare Benefit and paid for without deductible by Medicare to eligible patients.
- 1-2 nurse visits per week
- 2-5 CNA visits per week
- 1 Chaplain visit every two to four weeks
- 1 SW visit every two to four weeks
- All services also available as needed
- Supplies, RX and DME all included
- No deductible
What is Palliative Care?
Comfort and pain relief for anyone with a serious illness, regardless of life prognosis, whether they are expected to be cured or to live years.
Palliative Care programs can include Hospital Palliative Care programs, Insurance based Palliative Care programs, Private Pay Palliative Care programs and home visit palliative care.
Kindful seeks to partner with Palliative care providers to meet the needs of patients who are deciding between curative and non-curative support.
- Typically 1 visit by a Nurse Practitioner per month along with telephonic support for symptom and medication management.
