Palliative Support FAQs
Is palliative support only for the final stage?
No. It can be explored when comfort, symptom observation, or decision support becomes more important for the person and family.
Does it replace a doctor or hospital?
No. Home support works with the existing medical team and helps families carry out care arrangements at home.
