Palliative care enhances the quality of life for seriously ill patients by providing comprehensive support at home through a multidisciplinary team, addressing various needs and prioritizing comfort over curative treatments. While it offers personalized care and involves family in decision-making, challenges like caregiver stress and logistical issues persist, with growing demand prompting advancements in technology and healthcare policies to improve access.
Palliative home care focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses by providing comfort, symptom management, and emotional support in their own homes. This approach includes personalized care plans, regular assessments, and resources for family caregivers, all while prioritizing person-centered treatment that aligns with patients' goals.
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) provide high-level medical care and rehabilitation for short-term recovery, typically covered by Medicare after hospitalization, while nursing homes focus on ongoing custodial care for chronic conditions, mainly funded by Medicaid or private payments. The staffing and regulatory structures differ significantly between the two, necessitating clarity for families in choosing appropriate long-term care options.
