  I was a hospice social worker and so many people do not understand what hospice is. Many people who are unhappy with Hospice, have an inaccurate expectation. Let me know and I’ll be happy to answer question. To qualify you must have a dr certify that you are in the last 6 months of life. If you live beyond it,  they can just recertify you as long as you still meet criteria. They do NOT provide 24 hour care at home for their patients. That is something the family does or they can hire a provider. Hospice does not do that service. Disability does not equal Hospice. Many disabled people live long happy lives.

  Compassion and understanding in hospice care go a very long way for those that are facing the end. Nobody wants to die alone and nobody wants to be just a chart number. Those that work in hospice are special. Most of the time there’s not only the patient to see to, there’s also the family and I know that has to be difficult on the best of days. Thank you to all palliative care workers. You do make a difference.

  I'm watching this because my mom died in hospice in the hospital.  Her room was beautiful and her carers were lovely. Sadly she died 2 days after she went in. I live in a nursing home but when I get to that state would rather go to hospice than die here.

  “Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” Mel Gibson as William Wallace in Braveheart. These hospice workers are heroes in the truest sense of the word.

  My husband was only in hospice the last 2 and a half months and I just lost him,He hated hospice and wanted to come home.I was planning for in home hospice and he was great 3 days before he died then he just passed..He had everything failing and had Luey Body And FLD and our son and I took care of him the last 2 years..I had a terrible time losing him and I still am for it has only been a couple of months.I still cry and feel guilty that I survived. We were married 38 years and he was a big strong cop for 33 years.. He came home in a container.So hard..

  Hospice care is the most graceful way to be cared for at end of life.  They do not cure, they are end of life caregivers.  I would not have wished for my stepfather to have been anywhere else but hospice.  He died in peace and the staff were amazing.
