Palliative care can be provided in a range of settings, for example:
- the home
- a hospital
- an aged care home
- a hospice.
Most people with a terminal condition prefer to receive care at home, but this will depend on many factors, including:- the nature of the illness
- how much support is available from the person’s family and community
- whether the person has someone who can care for them.
