Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is home palliative care, and who is it intended for?
Home palliative care is medical and bedside nursing support delivered at home to relieve pain, physical discomfort, and emotional stress for people living with serious, progressive, or terminal conditions, such as advanced cancer, post-stroke paralysis, terminal heart failure, end-stage renal disease, and progressive neurological disorders.
2. What is the difference between palliative care and hospice care?
Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness and may accompany active treatments such as chemotherapy, dialysis, or surgery. Hospice care is focused on comfort, dignity, and symptom management when active curative treatment is no longer viable or chosen. Ashok Healthcare provides home palliative and end-of-life hospice care in Bangalore.
3. How quickly can a palliative care team deploy to my home in Bangalore?
From our central hub in Yeshwanthpur, we aim to deploy registered GNM/B.Sc nurses and dispatch home-care equipment within 2 to 3 hours across many Bangalore locations, subject to availability and the patient's requirements.
4. Can my family member receive palliative care at home while continuing active medical treatments?
Yes. Palliative care can be coordinated with treating hospital specialists and primary physicians. Our nursing team follows the prescribed care plan to support symptoms and treatment-related care while active treatment continues.
5. What specific clinical procedures can your home nurses handle?
Depending on the care plan and the nurse's scope of practice, support may include:
- Tracheostomy suctioning and inner cannula care.
- Enteral tube feeding via Ryle’s Tube (NG tube) and PEG tubes.
- Foley catheter care and hygiene maintenance.
- Stage 1 to Stage 4 pressure-ulcer dressing and wound management.
- IV line maintenance and doctor-prescribed medication schedules.

7. How is pain managed effectively for bedridden or terminally ill patients at home?
Our nursing team follows pain-management protocols prescribed by the treating doctor. These may include scheduled oral analgesics, transdermal patches, or IV medications as directed. Medication choices and adjustments remain the responsibility of the treating clinician.

10. Can home palliative care prevent frequent hospital readmissions?
Continuous monitoring and symptom support may help identify concerns early, but home palliative care cannot guarantee that hospital visits or readmissions will be prevented. Seek medical advice promptly if symptoms worsen or the treating clinician recommends hospital evaluation.
