Palliative Care FAQs
Do I Need To Stop Other Treatments To Receive Palliative Care?
Not at all. Palliative support can work alongside any other treatments you’re receiving.
Can Family Members Be Involved In The Care?
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Family involvement is extremely important so your loved one feels completely supported throughout the care journey.
When Is The Right Time To Start Palliative Care?
At any stage of a serious illness, really. However, it’s good to know that the earlier it’s introduced, the more it can help manage client’s symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Is Palliative Care The Same As End-Of-Life Care?
Not exactly. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness to help manage symptoms and provide comfort. On the other hand, end-of-life care can be part of a palliative care plan, focusing on the final weeks or days of life.
At SweetTree, we offer end-of-life care as part of our palliative in-home services to make sure our clients are supported and receive the care they deserve every step of the way.
