Abstract

Restriction on hospital visits for COVID‐19 infection control continues to have a significant negative impact on patients and their families. For a patient receiving palliative care, this social isolation may deteriorate their mental health. In such situations, home care could be a viable solution to this problem. In the COVID‐19 pandemic, providing end‐of‐life care at home may allow patients to spend more time with their families, improve communication between them and their health professionals and reduce the possibility of hospital‐acquired infections.
