What is comfort care?

Here to help

Comfort care is a term that is used to describe a patient care plan centred around quality of life, symptom relief and pain control. Comfort care is for people that have been admitted into hospital many times, with further medical treatment unlikely to change their condition. Comfort care takes the form of hospice care and palliative care.

Why comfort care?

Comfort, peace, Dignity

Comfort care is vital when it comes to end-of-life care. It is critical for people as it helps to reduce and relieve pain. This enables the person being cared for to experience their last days in some comfort, peace, and most importantly dignity.

Comfort care and palliative care are both forms of care that focus on providing relief from symptoms, pain, and stress. However, major differences between the two forms of care exist. Comfort care is typically provided to patients who are in the terminal stages of a life-threatening illness and are not expected to recover. The goal of comfort care is to make the patient as comfortable as possible and to improve their quality of life.

Palliative care, on the other hand, can be provided to patients at any stage of a serious illness. It is often used in conjunction with other forms of treatment and can be switched to comfort care when it is no longer possible for the patient to recover. Palliative care focuses on managing symptoms and providing emotional and spiritual support for both the patient and their family. As a result, it can be an important part of ensuring that patients receive the best possible care during a difficult time.
