[quote=Anonymous]I am so so sorry, OP. That is truly awful. I don't believe hospice will take people without a terminal diagnoses, but what you're looking for is palliative care (designed to comfort, not to heal or prolong life). But since it sounds like they aren't getting treatments they can stop, there's not much that can be done, as I don't believe dementia would qualify for any more aggressive options, like medical aid in dying. Make sure that all the paperwork is in place - DNR, living will, etc. Best of luck to you and your parent. You're in my thoughts. [/quote]
