9. Where to Get Palliative Care
Many medical facilities provide palliative care services. The services can be provided wherever the patient resides including cancer centers and hospitals. If the patient is not admitted to a hospital, there are palliative care services designed for patients outside health care facilities, and at home.
There are also programs that include assistance in the preparation of meals, meeting family needs, and even giving family members some time off from taking care of the patient. It is recommended to look for palliative care services in your local area. Also, ask about health insurance and if the palliative care services can be covered or not.
