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.

No. After years of family lovingly caring for dementia patient they enter a stage where family can no longer care for them. If you don’t know what you are talking about then STFU!!

Sorry. Lost it. Dementia is not just not knowing where your keys are. The stages get progressively worse. The end stage they can not swallow or walk or talk. It is a horrific disease not only for the victim but their loved ones also. When you say “They are probably being warehoused by relatives who don’t want to take care of them” it just made me so mad.
