“Sent her home to die”

Wouldn’t they usually send the patient to a hospice? They do here, including my mate.

I have no idea. I think she chose to die at home.

A lot of people get end of life care at home.
I know I’d rather die at home than some hospital.

Hospice is not usually a place. Hospice is palliative care. Often at home.

Hospice at home? That is an option, and we (my sisters and my brother and I) did it for my mother.
