How long has he been on “hospice”? The average hospice stay in the US is 19 days.

Not trying to be a jerk…but you are not getting the full story or accurate use of terms.

My father in law was on in house hospice for almost two months. True, usually they don’t last long but not every case is the same.

Hosipce RN here:to qualify for medicare hospice benefits a person needs to have a physician sign a C.T.I or certificate of terminal illness. It states that the patient’s medical prognosis is that the life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course.
