[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parent will likely live a much happier life and have a more natural, comfortable death at home. Nursing homes and assisted living will call 911 at every dizzy spell and hospitals will ignore DNRs and living wills, especially if your parent has good health insurance. Hospice is pretty much the only way to get the excess medical treatment to stop, and even that doesn't always work. There's a lot of profit in keeping well heeled elderly alive, even when they wish to be allowed to die. [/quote] A DNR cannot be ignored.[/quote]
