[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sucks. They don’t tell you hospice does very little and you’ll still have to provide 24-7 care. A nurse decided to give my dad a lethal dose of morphine without telling us and left him alone on a sofa at a memory care unit in Olney. He had stopped eating so they forced us to put him on hospice and also took away all his meds so he was freezing from lack of thyroid medications. Really messed up. I think hospice is terrible. [/quote] I have a friend in elder care; she says a person is dead within 3 days of stopping eating. The nurse’s act was actually one of compassion as much as it is possible in rehab/hospice. I am sorry about your dad but he would have lasted maybe one more day if not that. [/quote] He lasted 45 days after that. [/quote]
