[quote=Anonymous]My family member in advanced stages of Parkinson's Disease is really struggling to eat/swallow and has become malnourished. She has also become very depressed and is giving up, she says this is no life to live. It has been suggested that we request a hospice consult. Up until a few weeks ago she was participating in activities and at least pretending to eat, but the last week has been really difficult. It sounds like hospice might provide support for her as well as her caregivers. She is lonely, but pushes away most visitors except me, saying "they don't understand" or "everyone keeps pushing me to eat, if I could I would, but I can't". Does anyone have suggestions for one hospice group over another? Any experiences good or bad with Montgomery Hospice, JSSA, or Hospice Caring?[/quote]
