You are correct. It works the same way here, which is why I'm so uncomfortable with the fact that Mae is still in a hospice.
Correction: It used to be that way, but is changing. The right-to-die lobby has been pushing through laws making it possible for hospices to accept comatose and PVS patients.
"In his order, Probate Judge Douglas Boyd permitted Gaddy to continue as Magouirk's temporary guardian, but in a formal letter attached to the order stated that her powers were limited. One of the conditions of her guardianship is "To see that the ward [Magouirk] is adequately fed, clothed, sheltered and cared for, and receives all necessary medical attention, including placement in a nursing home, if appropriate."
...AND RECEIVES ALL NECESSARY MEDICAL ATTENTION, INCLUDING PLACEMENT IN A NURSING HOME, IF APPROPRIATE...
And her granddaughter placed her into a Hospice where she can NOT be admitted unless her lifespan is LESS THAN SIX MONTHS!
