Palliative care is aimed at improving the quality of life for patients living with serious and advanced illnesses. This specialized care focuses on addressing the physical symptoms and stress that often accompany managing a long-term disease. Additionally, palliative care practitioners offer emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families, helping them navigate difficult decisions and coordinate care. The wide-ranging benefits of palliative care for patients suffering from serious illnesses and conditions, such as cancer, ALS, dementia, and heart failure, are well-documented. These benefits extend beyond physical symptom management to include mental and emotional well-being. For the patient’s family, receiving palliative care support has been shown to alleviate grief and reduce instances of post-traumatic stress. Overall, palliative care significantly enhances patient satisfaction by tailoring interventions to the needs and preferences of the patient. This approach can lead to fewer unnecessary hospitalizations and ICU stays and has even been associated with extending patients’ lives.
