These are parts of the same system of medical and psychological support, but with different tasks and formats.
Palliative care is provided to patients with serious illnesses at different stages - not only at the end of life. It includes pain control, symptom relief, psychological and social support. It is provided in hospitals, at home or in outpatient settings.
Hospice care is palliative, it is provided in a specialized institution when the disease is in the terminal stage, and treatment is no longer effective. The main emphasis is on comfort, care, respectful attitude and help in the most difficult days.
Palliative care can be received even by those who continue to receive treatment. In a hospice, a person is surrounded by attention when treatment is completed, and it is important to provide him with peace, safety and decent conditions for the remaining period of life.
