She was moved there in secrecy, no notification, not even to the court until after it was done.

No proper certification, and has been there for 5 years.

It is well known that hospices are ONLY for people terminally ill and dying in 6 months or less.

That is like the kimatazi pilot always returning for another flight... How do you survive in a Hospice Hospital for five years? Talk about Holy Intervention.

Why is Medicaid paying for this? Why don't they come back and ask that she be moved back to a facility that cares for people that are not dying. Makes no sense to me. If the Government is paying for her then can't they say what happens to her?

Thanks. Yes I know it must be six months or less, signed by a physician. My sister elected that as she was dying in end stage CHF about six months ago. The hospice people would not talk to us until the doctor signed. Medicare pays for hospice but not long term care. This aspect of this situation should surely be explained to the public.
