[quote=Anonymous]Hospice is there to help you and to make your parent comfortable. IMHO, they are angels. They make sure pain meds are available, as well as other necessary supplies. My father was living with me and the hospice nurse answered every question. If your parent is in a nursing home, hospice is another set of eyes on him/her. As I said, my father was living with me. He ended up dying in my home, but a hospice facility could have removed taken him in for 7-10 days (if I had little children in my house). Another important factor for me, and my dad, was having the same nurse and nurse’s aid visit. The staff consistency vs a hospital setting was deeply appreciated. [/quote]
