Hospice was a nightmare when my stepfather was dying. They lied to my mother before he was admitted and then denied him food, water and everything but pain medications after he was admittted. My mother is still in agony over his death and the way it happened almost 2 yeears after the fact.
I would never give a cent to hospice and would never commend any loved one to their care.

I’m sorry about your stepfather’s nightmare, but the main hospice here is NOTHING like the one he went to.

The hospice Terri Schiavo is worldwide. There's a good chance that was the hospice franchise your stepfather was in. They are the worst and if you recall, they look like zombies and enjoy the death process. We must accept when the dying process is occurring but it is not something nobody but the cold hearted would enjoy... Sorry for your loss.

Terri's parents and siblings are a source of comfort. There is help here: www.terrisfight.org (you can email the Foundation for suggestions and support) for your mom.
