Copportunity care is sometimes called Palliative care.

Hospice care IS comfort care, but not all comfort care is hospice care.

It generally means not attempting to "fix" or cure what's wrong but rather give the patient better quality of life. More liberal use of pain meds, anti-anxiety meds and other comfort medications is frequently a hallmark.
