“”With almost 2,000 hospice agencies, Los Angeles County has more than 36 states combined and 30X MORE than the whole state of Florida and New York “”
Hospice is paid with Medicare funds and I know from experience when my husband was in hospice at home, there was a lot of poor management and care in name only. The agencies providing the “so called care” don’t have to prove any care has been done..just send a bill to Medicare with no questions asked. A nurse came ONCE week to take vitals and was OUT THE DOOR!!! What you receive are a lot of promises about care. Definitely an area that needs A LOT OF investigation and oversight nationwide!!
My husband received excellent hospice care in Nebraska.
