  2. Treatment Individuals receiving palliative care may persist with curative treatments such as chemotherapy or surgery for cancer. While hospice care is available to those who no longer desire treatment or whose ailment has ceased responding to treatment.

  3. Prolonging Life Those receiving palliative care can pursue aggressive measures to extend their life, while those in hospice care typically opt to forgo such treatments. For example, a person with advanced cancer who develops an infection may choose to forgo treatment for the infection in order to remain at home when they pass away. www.promiseseniorsolutions.com

  4. Length of Eligibility People encountering a life-threatening or life-limiting illness are eligible to receive palliative care. Those who meet the criteria of a medical director, indicating that their illness will likely result in a life expectancy of 6 months or less, will remain eligible for hospice care. www.promiseseniorsolutions.com

  5. Medical Team Palliative care is supplemental rather than a substitute for treatment provided by the individual's regular healthcare team. Conversely, hospice care generally assumes the role of primary care provider, albeit with the potential for continued consultation with the patient's physician. www.promiseseniorsolutions.com
