Hospice always concerns me. I authorized hospice for someone in a nursing home shortly after she went into the facility. It sure did look like the person wasnt even going to make it through the weekend.
The person rallied and lived 5 more years. Quality of life was terrible but that is what the body chose to do.
My parent decided on hospice while dealing with cancer. I didnt like it but not my choice. Succumbed almost to the day as predicted by the Dr. Months earlier
