English term or phrase: supportive care
I'm having a real problem translating the concept of "care"; "asistencia médica" seems too clinical for the idea of caregiving within a family, etc. Any thoughts?

Spanish translation:Cuidado Paliativo
Explanation:
I assume that you are referring to the special care given to terminal patients to mitigate both physical and moral pain, otherwise, just "brindar cuidado or brindar cuidado especial" would do.

I hope this helps.
