Summary/Abstract: Every person is different and has different needs. It is important to know what care  and support is available and how to receive it. Care provided to the patient at the end of life  should be based on the work of an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary team formal and informal caregivers. From the patient’s caregiver attitude depends the attitude of the patient and the  quality of the palliative‐hospice care provided to patients and their families in medical and nonmedical aspects. Care giver attitudes is the foundation of the desired model for patients at the  end of his life and the basis for a safe system of health and social care in the institutional dimension. Integrated system of care at the patient at the end of his life must be based on personality  traits, values, skills, knowledge, professional competencies and work experience in caregiving  rather than place and organization of palliative‐hospice care. In this meaning quality care at the  end of life is specialized care and support that recognizes the unique needs of a person who has   a terminal condition, their family and carers
