Having put several relatives through hospice care in Branford CT. It was noted to me by the nurses that Yale New Haven Dumps terminal patients on them at the end of every month so their Success or cure rate looks pretty good for the books.
They are a little premature though as some patients end up walking out of there after several weeks.
A side note; I always disliked actor “Rat Boy” Richard Gere until I found out he regularly visits the patients there as he lives on the water within view of the facility
It is a misconception that a hospice is exclusively a place to die. A lot of people “graduate” from hospice care. It’s one of the things that keeps the people who work there going.
Where should terminal patients go if not to hospice? Hospice has a very different objective than hospitals - to make patients comfortable.
Very kind of him.
