Abstract

Home-based care plays a pivotal role in palliative treatment by offering a patient-centered approach that prioritizes comfort, personalization, and family involvement. This model of care enables patients with serious illnesses to receive comprehensive support in the familiarity and comfort of their own homes, which can significantly enhance their quality of life. Home-based palliative care facilitates individualized symptom management, aligns treatment with patient values and goals, and supports families in providing care. Despite its advantages, such as increased comfort, reduced healthcare costs, and improved quality of life, this approach also presents challenges, including resource limitations, caregiver burden, and the need for effective coordination among healthcare professionals. Addressing these challenges through comprehensive assessment, education, and regular communication is essential for optimizing home-based palliative care. This model not only fosters a supportive environment for patients and families but also exemplifies a holistic and patient-centered approach to managing serious illnesses.
