Palliative Care
Paliative care happens at the end of life, when you have a health problem that can't be cured and that you will die from. The goal of palliative care is to make you feel comfortable while you live the last days of your life Depending on your health problems, you might have palliative care for a few days or for quite a few months. You can get pallitive care at home or in a hospital.
Sometimes the term "hospice care" is used instead of palliative care, but it means the same thing. A hospice is also a place that you can go to get palliative care. It has some of the same equipment as a hospital, and is also run by health care workers, but feels more like a home.
