In America palliative care is more of a concept than an actual service with supports attached, can you give us a little more detail about what you are looking for?

Not sure what your question is, but palliative care is only having a nurse come visit the patient once every 6 weeks and nothing more.
While hospice care is having a nurse come once a week to start, aides to bathe the patient at least twice a week, access to the hospice chaplain, social worker, and volunteers. Also hospice will provide any needed equipment, supplies and medications all covered 100% under the patients Medicare.
But keep in mind that even with hospice on board, 99% of the patients care will fall on the family, or paid caregivers.
