[quote=Anonymous]Hospice helped ease my mom’s suffering and our anxiety about the end. While I was initially disappointed by the minimal visits in the early days, that’s not really a criticism since it was more than she had before. The focus was on making sure my mom was comfortable and treated with dignity. We hired extra help as needed. The hospice doctor visited her several times and any time between visits that I called and asked for someone to come, they sent someone. Her nurse was AMAZING! They do allow you to go on and off hospice if you decide to pursue medical treatment. My mom had her lungs drained at one point and it was no issue to go off for a day. We used JSSA and I had absolutely no complaints. [/quote]
