Abstract

Patient-centered palliative care, particularly within home-based settings, represents a critical advancement in providing comprehensive, individualized support for patients with serious illnesses and their families. This model prioritizes the patient's preferences, values, and needs, integrating a holistic approach that encompasses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Home-based palliative care offers several advantages, including the comfort of familiar surroundings, personalized care plans, and the ability to address symptoms and support needs in real-time. This abstract explores the key practices and models of home-based palliative care, including interdisciplinary team collaboration, caregiver support, and advanced care planning. It also examines the challenges and opportunities associated with this approach, such as ensuring access to resources, managing complex care needs, and coordinating between various healthcare providers. By emphasizing a patient-centered approach, homebased palliative care aims to enhance quality of life, improve patient satisfaction, and provide compassionate support to families throughout the course of serious illness.
