Palliative care is usually administered to individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, kidney failure, COPD, or cancer. This type of care can involve everything from pain management to spiritual support for the patient’s family. Caregivers can help by organizing meals, medications, and transportation to doctor’s visits for appointments and frequent medical tests.
