Hospice kills people early, due to strong medicines only being given by the hospice care worker. These medicines were not needed the day before entry into hospice, yet, hospice “clinicians“ are giving these drugs and do not report this.
Of note: “Large and for-profit agencies were significantly more likely to prescribe these medications.”
It seems they have a profit motive to provide extra drugs that can kill.

yes. most people with dementia don’t belong in hospice. old age isn’t an immanent death situation. they are probably being warehoused by relatives who don’t want to take care of them. the ‘bad’ hospice ‘care’ places are probably doing what they can to maximize profit. sad.

Does it matter when it comes to dementia? Hospice is to provide comfort at the end. If these drugs do that, but with the possibility of shorting life, so what!

My personal choice would be to be allowed to die. There is no use being kept alive when no longer able to take care of myself or recognize anyone.

You have it backwards. Hospice is used for end of life care. The end is near.
The money made by using these drugs pales in comparison to the $7500 monthly out of pocket cost to be in hospice care. If profit was the motive, they would do everything possible to extend life, not end it.
It takes a special type of person to work in hospice. Providing care and comfort to the dying should earn them a special place in heaven.

A decade ago my father, who was 89, entered a hospice and was put on a morphine drip.
He lasted about a week.
COPD was the culprit that caused his inability to to breathe.
COPD was the end result of 55 years of cigarette smoking.
