The concept of Hospice originally was to enable terminally ill patients to live at home until death. Terminally ill patients that did not want to die in a hospital could live at home, with nursing, medical, and support personnel visiting, assisting with care and providing support until the end.
Now a Hospice appears to be a glorified rest home where persons can be legally starved to death away from the prying eyes of family and friends. What a crock!!

And as I had stated, I wasn't talking about the type of hospice care that Terry was in
