“Her sister and other family are almost begging her to force her mother into hospice so that then if she had a medical issue she would not receive care.”


I thought hospice only took patient who were diagnosed as being terminally ill.

You mentioned that this woman was not terminal.

Neither was Terri Schiavo. It’s not difficult to find a doctor to declare her terminal. Especially if she’s 90 years old, with health issues.

Terri Schiavo was placed in a hospice and NOBODY, not even her murderers, ever suggested that she was terminally ill.
