Hospice Care.. Do you know someone on it

I have known a couple of people who have hospice come into their homes. You can have hospice involved as much or as little as you would like. If you only want them their for a few minutes a day to take vitals, or if you need help feeding and bathing, or if you need help getting medications, all of these things are available. They don't try to get in your way, just help you along. Your local hospice should be able to provide more information if you request it. Don't be afraid to ask.

My grandmother was on hospice and we were given a full booklet explaining about hospice and all about them and what they do. My grandmothers hospice carer was nice and they helped my family and I deal with my grandmothers passing.

My aunt is with Hospice right now. They actually are just keeping her comfortable. Yhe experience has been great, I wouldn't want their job.

Well my father was in that same type of care. My experience was as long as you keep an eye on them they will do their jobs. Some of them slip up and neglect their patients so I say just be careful, do a extensive search of their background, and keep them on their toes. Take care and I wish the best for you and your father. God bless you.

I don't know anybody with this experience, but it must be terrible.

I just found this discussion, but I see that it was posted a long time ago. By now you certainly know all about how hospice works. Your father is probably gone, too. My husband is one of those rare people who has been in hospice for over a year. He is outliving the predictions. I hope your life is good and that you found Hospice as helpful and caring as I have.
