[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister insisted on putting my father in home hospice for six months, without my permission or consent. This was a few years ago and he is still alive, so you can see that was a sketch decision. They did very little. Sent a nurse twice a week and a cna who gave him a lousy bed bath. They sucked. They dismissed him from hospice after six months when he didn’t die. Said he wasn’t sick enough. [b]They had fired all his doctors so we had no one to prescribe his meds.[/b] They did provide a hospital bed and hoyer lift but took them so we were left scrambling for those items. I think hospice sucks. I wouldn’t enroll a loved one in it unless they are at the point where they are likely to die in a few weeks or so.[/quote] Exactly right!!!! Did that to my Mom, too.[/quote]
