[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry for what you're going through. We've used hospice a few times, and one in Montgomery County was quite terrible. This is also worth reading: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/05/how-hospice-became-a-for-profit-hustle Keep a close eye on what the nurses do. [/quote] thank you for the article, I will read today. Can you provide more information about what made your experience horrible? Was it Montgomery Hospice, or a different agency in Montgomery County? -OP[/quote] That article is about private hospices that are money grabs. Montgomery hospice came in and my MIL improved as they worked with the nursing home on meds, food, hygiene, visited a few times a week, etc and they had to pull out. They greatly improved her quality of life. As soon as they pulled out, she declined and died within a few weeks. They came back in the last two weeks no issue. Thankfully they took the time to prepare men on what happens during and after death before as it is part of their intake. They were very ethical. The end was horrific but that was not their fault. After watching it I hope to drop dead like my parent did as she suffered for years. I wish someone would have drugged her to make the death quicker but no one did. [/quote]
