Yes..I do as a matter of fact know EXACTLY what a hospice is...first hand, so tread softly with me easy button Lady.
Hospice care differs from state to state, even within a state. My husband was dying, he lived only 6 weeks. He spent only 3 nights in a hospital, and said that he wanted to die at home. With the help of hospice care, he was able to have that.
It is dreadful to have a bad experience with hospice, but in my opinion, we had one of the best.
Than I’m sorry you had such a negative experience. The majority of people haven’t. I thank God for hospice and I send money every year to the hospice that allowed my brother to die with dignity and comfort, in a home like setting with the people he loved around him, instead of a cold hospital, being tended to by strangers who didn’t give a rat’s ass about him.
