“Will palliative care help my grandfather?”
My grandfather is 75 years old, and he is very sick with pneumonia. His doctor moved him to a palliative care unit. Will this help him?

Palliative care is specialized comfort care. Check with his medical team about the process. https://www.oncologyspasolutions.com/
What will help depends upon what we are trying to achieve. This is very limited information to understand complete medical condition. Assuming your grandfather has terminal condition. If you and family believe that your grandfather would want to focus on being comfortable, then palliative services and maybe hospice services would be a reasonable consideration. Palliative care doctors at the palliative care unit may be a good resource for further information.
