[quote=Anonymous]Palliative Care usually relates to goals of care in the context of incurable illness (not necessarily end-of-life); they focus on comfort and quality of life in the midst of active treatment. It might include planning for future needs as health declines, but that would more likely be the role of a geriatric care manager, which is like a community case manager who has a broad understanding of services that are available for people who wish to age in place (for example, they might send in an occupational therapist to do a home safety assessment and recommend equipment, etc) or seek potential placement (ALF, memory care, etc).[/quote]
