Understanding Hospice & Palliative Care
They're related, but not the same thing.
Palliative Care
Comfort-focused care that can start at any point in a serious illness — often alongside treatment aimed at curing or slowing the disease. The goal is easing symptoms and improving quality of life, not necessarily preparing for end of life.
Hospice Care
Comfort care without curative intent, typically chosen when a physician estimates a prognosis of around six months or less, or when a family decides further treatment isn't the right path. When someone enrolls in hospice, they automatically receive palliative-style comfort care as part of it.
Both can be delivered right inside a Penda home — your resident doesn't have to transfer to a hospital or hospice facility to receive either.

Palliative care is comfort-focused care that can happen at any stage of an illness, alongside curative treatment. Hospice is comfort care without curative intent, typically for someone with a prognosis of around six months or less. Both can be delivered inside our home.
Yes. That continuity — the same room, same caregivers, same routine — is one of the biggest advantages of a small residential home over a hospital or nursing facility transfer.
