This should be no surprise. Hospices routinely come into nursing homes to recruit "patients" who then may or may not ever get so much as a visit from a "worker." If they do, the "worker" is likely to just sit and read or do paperwork next to the "patient."
Hospice all too often is merely a vehicle to mine Medicare for dollars, after ordering the cessation of serious medications that might prolong life.
Obamacare must ban prayers
My mom in law was diagnosed with terminal cancer and put on hospice care several years ago. Through God’s grace she lived longer than the doctors thought she would and had to be removed from hospice before she finally got really sick and near death. At least in this case nobody was scamming the system. Hospice is really pretty minimal care - it saved the family a lot of grief at the time though.
