Unlike many other care options, palliative care is tailored entirely to the spiritual, physical, and mental needs of you or your loved one, which means what services are featured during treatment can vary significantly from person to person. In simple terms, palliative care allows people who are severely or terminally ill to get holistic treatment to improve their quality of life. A palliative care team can include chaplains, doctors, social workers, and others all working together to find solutions.
