I am very sorry that your father, you and his loved ones are having to go through this at this difficult time. I am praying for peace and comfort for each of you.
We went through a similar situation with my father-in-law.
Thank you and it is a mess. They do not like that I am insisting on preventative maintenance for everything other than the terminal cause, they want to compound it and make it more complicated and faster. Once in the system they want to get rid of that “case” as soon as possible. I am not sure how it works, but I suspect they are given a lump sum to provide hospice and all care and supplies come out of that lump sum. So they do their best to keep it short as possible from sign on to check out.
It is all about profits and cutting the overhead. Not a damned thing “comfortable” about it at all. Morphine and checking out as soon as possible is the “comfort” they express repeatedly. And they give you plenty to overdose that “case” right off the bat. You can bet many just do that to rid themselves of the burden and are never questioned.
Not here, we have four medical professionals who started their careers as CNAs and furthered their careers from there as nurses and are now licensed higher than those currently caring for Dad through hospice...
Sorry to hear about your loss, I see you know and understand what I speak of...
We are going to give the crooked system a run for it’s money... :)
