Just one note. There is a difference between hospice care in a facility and hospice at home. The hospice that my mil used offered both. The overall patient satisfaction rating was only 3 out of 5 stars , with in facility ( where my mil was ) getting 5 stars and at home getting 1 star. Why the difference? At home you still were responsible for hiring 24 hour aides, with all the complications if an aide cancelled . Similarly, doctors and nurses didn’t always show up on time. However, those issues never arise when you are in the physical hospice , where my mil received great care.
