Palliative care support is focused on improving comfort and quality of life when someone is living with a serious illness, long-term condition, or increasing frailty. It can begin much earlier than many people expect and may continue for some time. End-of-life care is usually a later stage of support when someone is thought to be nearing the final phase of life. Both approaches aim to reduce distress and respect the person’s wishes, but they are not exactly the same. Understanding the difference can help families plan more confidently, ask the right questions, and put home support in place at the right time rather than waiting until they are already in crisis.
