RE- Hospice care is end of life care to make a terminal patient comfortable

---

That was true maybe 5 years ago but the program has expanded greatly. they still do EOL care but in my area i’d guess that’s now less than half of what they do. It’s home health care for the eldrly thru medicare (or medicaid)I’ve been using them for an elderly mom

That’s news to me.

I had relatives in hospice years ago and it was definitely end of life care.

It only confuses things when they change the definitions like that. To have two completely different definitions for hospice you don’t know if the person is dying or not and it’s very awkward to have to ask when someone tells you their loved one is in hospice.
