Unlike palliative care, hospice care is triggered by a timeframe. A patient cannot be recommended for hospice care unless and until a doctor (and in some states, two doctors) certifies that the patient is within six months of the end of his or her life. Hospice care may include some forms of palliative care. The difference is that hospice care provides no expectation or even suggestion of a cure. Hospice is intended only to manage symptoms, to keep the patient comfortable until he or she dies.
