Draining?
All I know is that hospice was very compassionate towards my mother and father-in-law at the very end of their lives and helped ease them in their pain until they passed. Until that time, I had never had any real experience with them and knew little about them. If you have ever been with your loved one at the end of their life when they are in pain you will understand the true value of hospice. I would expect that anyone who speaks ill of them has not had any experience with them. For me, it was a relief knowing they would assist their passing as painlessly as possible. I found their nurses to be professional and very caring in both cases. I think they choose people that are well suited for that particular job which is difficult.
