Sometimes it takes years for someone to die. This doesn't mean they don't need care, but it usually means the FAMILY must do it for free. Corporate Profit is where the fraud lies (Adult Diaper Delivery). Caregivers are paid NOTHING. Mehmet Öz owns Stocks in an Adult Diaper Manufacturer.

Yes it is...it's better than in the hospital. My 95 yr old MIL had a beautiful passing thanks to Hospice

My thoughts exactly. My mother was in hospice and died in my home which is how I thought it was supposed to work. I think it's become a more for profit business with people dying in group or medical settings.

This makes me sick. The grift is all encompassing.

For Profit Health Care should be illegal. It is unethical.

If I linger... I will determine when enough is enough... fuck that...

This is heinous. Doubly so because when hospice works as intended it can make a person's death far more comfortable for them and easier for the family. My grandfather died in Nov. and thanks to the hospice care he received he was able to pass in his own home with his wife of 69 years at his side.

The American Way

Also, many wait so long to get treatment for illness, due to Healthcare cost, cost of insurance, co-payments, deductibles, denials of medications. Specialists, testing, or surgeries in the US, that often times an illness is too far progressed by the time any provider is seen.

This is fraud. Not a problem with hospice

That’s comforting. Sorry for your loss, too.

Sorry for your losses. It is a comfort when you have people to help you thru difficult times.

We had to review charts to make sure staff were charting certain things that were needed by the government. If things weren’t done right Medicare could shut the agency down and take away their license. Somehow this slipped through the cracks & why? Watchdogs in gov gone??

I witness this glut of hospice care in my wife's memory care facility. The staff at the home record what the resident eats and monitor vitals. Then, the hospice care workers come in and—wait for it—record what the resident eats and monitor vitals.

I couldn’t finish reading the article. I can’t imagine ever taking advantage of a senior in their final days when they are the most venerable. It takes a special kind of evil to do that. Heartbreaking 💔

Hospice provides bathing assistance, home dr and nurse visits, medical and incontience supplies fee of charge, along with other services like music therapy.

Uh, the article discusses how non-terminally I'll people are being signed up. Even without their knowledge.

It still can work right. I'm in the middle of this with a loved one. It sounds like there are some bad hospice organizations but ours has been a tremendous help.
