Hospice or Palliative:
What's the Difference?
Both our palliative care and hospice care programs provide comfort to the patient and relief for caregivers, but palliative care can begin at diagnosis and at the same time as treatment. Hospice care begins after treatment of the disease has ceased and when it is established that curative treatments are no longer an option.
Hospice Care
Definition: Hospice is an appropriate course of care for terminally ill patients in the last six months of their lives, at a time when curative treatments are no longer an option.
Hospice caregivers help patients manage their illness and remain as comfortable as possible in their own environment. When you choose hospice care, the focus becomes the promotion of living as fully and as comfortably as possible. We also help address common worries, such as loss of independence, and look after the well-being of the family.
Hospice also helps ease the burden of families caring for patients during this time.
Eligibility: Hospice eligibility requires that two physicians certify that the patient has less than six months to live if the disease follows its normal course.
Cost: Our hospice care costs are paid 100% by Medicare, Medicaid, and AHCCCS. They are usually also covered by private insurance. Medicare Hospice Benefit includes pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, 24/7 access to care, nursing, social services, chaplain visits, grief support following a death and other services deemed appropriate by the hospice agency.

Savior Hospice pledges to provide the highest quality hospice service in Maricopa County and the greater Phoenix area. We work to make patients feel comfortable, supported and we give them the ability to experience an enhanced quality of life surrounded by those they love.
Palliative Care
Definition: Palliative care is compassionate comfort care that provides relief from the symptoms and physical and mental stress of a serious or life-limiting illness. Palliative care can start at diagnosis, during curative treatment and follow-up, or at the end of life.
When you or a loved one is seriously ill, you will face many challenges – and we’re here to help.
If you’re a patient, our experienced team improves how you feel, both physically and emotionally. The team at Savior Palliative Care is deeply committed and highly skilled at providing care and other resources you require throughout the course of a serious illness.
If you’re a caregiver, we provide expert support as you care for your loved one. You can get education and coaching to be a more confident caregiver, as well as emotional and spiritual support to sustain you during the demands of caring.
The palliative care team works in partnership with your own doctor to provide an extra layer of support for you and your family.
Eligibility: Palliative care is begun at the discretion of the physician and patient at any time, at any stage of illness, terminal or not.
Cost: Savior Hospice has one of the only licensed Palliative Medicare Programs Arizona, meaning there is no out-of-pocket cost to you. Read more about who pays for palliative care here.
Location: Both our hospice and palliative teams make regular visits at the bedside, wherever a patient calls home — a family residence, a long-term care facility, or a hospice unit — and we are on-duty 24 hours a day/seven days a week.
Care Teams: Both our hospice and palliative care is provided using an Interdisciplinary Care Team (IDT) approach, with staff who are highly experienced in comforting and alleviating the physical and emotional pain of someone facing end-of-life. Both our palliative and hospice teams address physical, emotional and spiritual pain during care.
