[quote=Anonymous]What a lot of hospices will try to do is put all the work on the caregiver, or anyone around the dying, including elderly who can’t physically handle the work. As some people die, they get increasingly agitated which is very disturbing. My aunt was grossly mis-managed by the other hospice re: pain management and very disoriented (dying tends to do that). Examples: she thought she needed a new TV because she can no longer work the remote properly, then she blamed it on my brother because he was watching football on another TV in her house a month ago and it “migrated” to her bedroom TV. She is also demanding a hospital bed despite being IN a remote operated hospital bed because she can’t understand why it’s so hard to try and get up to stand and go about her business. She has no idea that’s due to her deteriorating body. She’s neon yellow from liver failure. Now that she’s properly medicated, she’s much calmer and out of pain. [/quote]
