Signs someone may need palliative care

Many families wait too long before asking for help. Palliative care can be considered when illness brings frequent hospital visits, ongoing pain, breathlessness, tiredness or worry.

Other signs include difficulty with daily tasks such as eating or bathing, weight loss, repeated infections, and caregivers who feel exhausted or overwhelmed.

Asking early does not mean giving up on treatment. It means adding a layer of comfort and support for the patient and the family.

If you are unsure, speak with your doctor or contact Amrit Caregivers NGO. We will listen and guide you to the right support.
