[quote=Anonymous]If you aren’t ready for hospice look for palliative care. They will focus more on comfort. How old is your dad? Have you asked him what he wants? What’s his quality of life? Positive of hospice is the nurse comes to you and you no longer have to go to the doctors office. You can also look for providers that do home visits even if you dont want hospice. Just sort of depends on what your dad wants his final years to look like. I felt like the frequent hospitalizations, blood draws etc to be torture for my parents prior to enrolling in hospice. Both my parents were on hospice and we had a good experience. Instead of fighting the inevitable, we focused on comfort. GL[/quote]
