Abstract
Palliative care and supportive care are now integral part of modern geriatric medicine. Palliative care improves both physical and psychological comfort of older patients at the end of their life. It also offers a support system to help the family and care dispensers. The delayed time of decease observed currently among older patients emphasize their importance. A law of June 1999, guarantees access to palliative care to anyone.
