"Thanks but after they tried to starve Terri, I think I'll stear clear of hospice."

I told my spouse that I didn't want to ever go to a hospice after hearing about this case and other similar cases. If I ever get that sick let me die at home. I'm checking into long-term care insurance that provides nursing help in our house for both of us.

Finding good care in the home is not easy either. I have a careprovider for 24yrs. and finding respite is a bear.

When I find a good worker(s) I use them and take time off.

However home health care attracks the "takers" and "theifs" in society.

Be aware. Stay healthy.
