[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This can also be a problem for someone who needs hospice care. When my father's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, he was admitted to the hospital but they (and he) soon realized that he needed hospice. Unfortunately, it was not physically possible for his wife to move him back home to do home-based hospice due to the layout of her house and the need to install various safety devices like grab bars etc. Eventually the hospital found a residential hospice and he was able to move there, but it took a week.[/quote] Hospice is a bit different than nursing home care. Hospice is paid for by medicare and they can go into a nursing home bed for up to 90 days on medicare. However, it is hard as there are only a handful of residential true hospice places in the DMV. Often its nursing home care with hospice support.[/quote]
