I do agree with your bottom line, however I do work in a nursing home and in Texas hospice is also done there. FEDERAL law requires abuse and neglect to be reported and every nurse regardless of where she works knows this. If true what kind of home is she in that would allow this to continue? Poor lady, she's fighting for a reason.

That's a very good question .. one that I don't have the answers for .. but I do think should be look into.

hospice is for people that are near death or going to die in several months...

perhaps hospice was not the best choice...

I know hospice here demands that the patient be a "no code" and they do not encourage feeding tubes or other extensions of life, if that life is going to be ending soon anyway...

their mission is to make a dying experience a peaceful one, one without pain or torment or noise or stress of any kind...so while they believe in all that, they may not believe in any rehab. except for comfort....

I have hated this story from day one...

I am so suspicious of this husband, but he has gotten away with it so far....

if only life was fair....
