I don't recommend even to my enemy to stay in there. They think, family is ready for their loved one to die. So they will let them die ASAP possible. My husband was in critical condition, but he could live longer. The nurse practitioner ordered a kind of pain injection which put him to sleep. If he was up, he would have kind of seizure.



I told her not to order that injection. She wouldn't listen to me and ordered same medication. Several time, I stopped them to inject him.



One day I went to work. An hour later, they called me, said "he died". She said he needed injection and they injected him. They did that behind my back, if I was there I wouldn't let them to do.



She said Medicare doesn't pay, if he stay here more ten days. I said "I will pay for it" or I will take him home.



That's my experience with this hospice. This isn't what I was told about hospice. I heard, they keep him comfortable until die as oppose to inject him, put him to sleep forever. Just wanted to let you know.
