I found it odd that she was i Hospice for 5 years, I thought that Hospice was for terminally ill patients with a 6 month life. Wonder if the fact that his lawyer is on the board of directors has anything to do with it.....even so, why hospice?
That question's being asked all the time. To qualify for Medicare for a hospice stay, the patient's doctor is supposed to certify less than 6 months' life expectancy. (I guess it can be renewed should the patient not die.)
Two freepers posted stories yesterday involving family members in Florida hospices, though, who died far sooner than expected once admitted.
