"bump for later study on good hospices / bad hospices. There are both in this area. May we have the wisdom to know the difference and to make good choices."
You said it.
When in doubt, stay away from hospices (if you have a choice).
I'm going to die at home just like my grandfather did being taken care of by his two daughters. No way will I go into a Hospice and let them take care of me. The only way to die is with your family taking care of you!
