[quote=Anonymous]My mom was on hospice for 4 months before she passed. I loved the support they provided, showering her twice a week, a companion to visit for an hour a week, weekly nurse checks. All the work still fell to me or aides we hired, but I had been doing all the work for years so it was nice to have some help. Plus I liked having someone to talk things through with so regularly. It made a big difference for my sanity. We used a non profit for hospice and they were really great. It sounds like there are a lot of expectations that hospice is nursing home care. There is a subset that is, but most of it is just a bit more support for palliative care at home. [/quote]
