Difference Between Hospice and Palliative Care

Both hospice and palliative care focus on quality of life, but they differ in timing and scope:

Palliative care can begin at any stage of illness and may be provided alongside curative treatments.
Hospice care is for patients with a prognosis of six months or less when the focus shifts entirely to comfort.
