[quote=Anonymous]My dear FIL has been given 10 months to live(stage 4 bone cancer, has aspiration issues, no mobility from waist down, arrhythmia, incontinent -has a catheter)I've toured a few places in Charles county&PG county. I was quoted 16k/monthly (yes, 16k!!)as he doesn’t qualified for hospice at home anymore. For 16k I expect the facility to be somewhat fairly clean, skilled nurse 24/7, help with meds, sponge bath, change brief/diaper, 3 meals. None of the places I toured are optimal and understaffed. Am I being unrealistic to expectations? What kind of care does a hospice resident gets for that price? I’m looking for a facility that can provide proper dignity care, kind treatment and keep my FIL comfortable and pain-free. Any tips, suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciate it-[/quote]
