Hospices are as different as individual doctors are. Some hospice maangers are in it because they love death, others are in it because they love the living.

A friend of mine is an owner of an assisted living facility in Southern California. Recently she told me what she had learned by observing hospice workers coming to her facility. She holds some in very high professional regard while others she wouldn't want caring for a pet. One hospice firm, in particular, was noted for its rather frequent use of pain killers in hospice patients.

She holds some in very high professional regard while others she wouldn't want caring for a pet.

Nurses are the same way. Many more good than bad, but some of them shouldn't be anywhere near a medical facility.
