[quote=Anonymous]We had a very good experience with hospice in Missouri with my dad who had cancer. They visited once a week for 3 months, anlso a chaplain annd social workers came occasionally, the nurse brought supplies until the last week when they came daily. Then the pain began 36 hours before he died. His kids all made it there and after our goodbyes they did give him extra morphine ad he died. Not sure how it would have gone if he’d had pain for longer. He was ready at that point so we felt ok about it. I’m sorry to hear of these horrible situations. Interviewing hospice groups is super if you’re in an area with choices. Also they don’t provide much care and that is not spoken about enough. All medications for whatever is causing their terminal prognosis are dropped and only pain relief is offered. [/quote]
