I know of no Hospice that would run IV's that's why your story doesn't sound quite right......
having said all that, I'm am not a Hospice fan....with my mom, we did all the care, and the Hospice people just showed up once in a while, plus I think they were stingy with medications....every increase in pain med was very small...
plus, the only person my folks really liked of the bunch was the social worker who was also a chaplain of sorts and sang religous songs which my mom and dad loved....unfortunately, she came rarely.....
. and despite promising to come to her funeral and to follow up with my Dad, they did neither.....
It’s exactly as I told it. The hospital persuaded them to admit him to hospice and hospice lied to my mother. My stepfather signed his own admission papers and by the PM of that same day was so over-medicated that he couldn’t sign himself out even if my mother could have found someplace else to take him, which she was unable to do because no one wanted him since he was in hospice.
Where he was they ran an IV so they woldn;t have to keep sticking him for pain meds ect.
My mother hates hospice and I have promised her I would NEVER allow her to be treated by them.
