[quote=Anonymous][quote] OP here - how does one access this? Through his PCP or after a hospitalization?[/quote] We contacted a hospice provider directly and they did the evaluation. Not sure if palliative is different. She was accepted into hospice same day, we dropped many medications and focused on end of life comfort. She died in a few weeks after a fracture and advanced dementia. I was surprised the ER did not suggest hospice but maybe they were waiting for me to ask. [/quote]
