[quote=Anonymous]For my mother, hospice provided relief and guidance for the end of life process. They provided, oxygen, a hospital bed, supplies, visits weekly and then more frequently as she declined, support during emergencies, and most importantly, the ability to keep her out of the hospital. My mom had severe dementia and allowing her to be in her own (independent living) apartment with her familiar things and caretakers was a blessing. They also supplied morphine which we only needed once a few days before the end. I started with them 3 months before she died at 101. [/quote]
