Not necessarily. Hospice and Palliative care are somewhat entwined. Someone with a possibly terminal illness, can benefit from Palliative care, in the sense that the symptoms and care options can be addressed to a specific patient. Rather than a general prognosis/treatment of the disease.

No, in the hospice I worked at we also took people who needed a lot of care after treatment.

Yes, hospice is care for the dying.

However, it is a sub-category of palliative care which seeks to reduce a person's pain and suffering. It's possible to have palliative care which is not hospice.

A personal testimony:

"Well my mother works at hospice of the valley and it's great. Yeah it's only for people who are dying, who also have a terminal sickness. They take good care and it's free. It works by donations so you don't have to worry about money. They go visit your home and also help out in anything you need. It's a great way for a family member to live their last days without any pain."

Please note that not all hospice care is free nor can it always eliminate pain entirely.
