Let's stop calling this place a hospice, which it is not. More accurately, it's a Roach Motel for the Disabled. And even more accurately, it's the Greer and Felos Roach Motel.
They have a LONG record of admitting patients who were NOT terminal (that is, not until they were admitted.)
At the time that Terri Schiavo was unlawfully entered into the Hospice of Florida Suncoast Inc. the federal government was actively trying to recover nearly $15 million paid to the corporation in a fraudulent Medicare payments because patients certified as terminally ill were not in fact terminally ill and ineligible to be admitted to the Hospice under Medicare.

Mrs. Don-o
A great and accurate description.
Mrs. don-o please don't think that I disagree with you. Your reference was very enlightening. In fact, it revolts me that this place is called hospice, which is a group that I previously held in great respect.
Did you watch c-spann today with a national rep from hospice? He was showered with hosannas of the wonderful hospice nurses who care for terminal patients in their final days....but at one point he did admit that the natl organization is affiliated with the Fl. hospice too.

Roach Motel for the Disabled is to good a name for it, though certainly gets a lot closer then hospice.
