[quote=Anonymous]Generally you are referred to hospice when one is given less than 6 months to live. Some last only a few days others are discharged out of service if their condition improves. Service is focused on end of life care either at home or in a facility. Treatment is palliative in nature, not for treatment. You should speak to her in law and or her care takers to see if they have discussed hospice. It is generally covered by Medicare or insurance. There are also community based services where the medical care is covered but volunteers provide the family support. [/quote]
