Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I don't have any personal experience with hospice but I want to say this: the memory care facility may have "partnered" with a hospice company and will recommend that company to you. However, you are under no obligation to use them. You and your father have the right to use any hospice company that you wish.
Becky, I was quite pleased with Hospice for both my parents. Check with Capital Caring, which is in the Wash DC area.. www.capitalcaring.org/get-help/our-services/hospice/
I believe that hospice does serve a purpose for those who no longer want to poked and prodded for their health issues. I also believe that they do a much better job when the person dies sooner than later as it was my experience that because my late husband continued to live while under their care in our home for the last 22 months of his life that they often seemed unsure of what to do for him, thus causing me to have to stay on top of them on a regular basis to make sure that my husband was receiving the care that he needed and deserved. And because my husband was twice in a hospice home, once when I was told he would be dead in 48 hours(which he lived for 22 more months after that)and the other time so they could try and get his pain under control, I can vouch for the fact that the care you receive in an actual hospice home is top notch and it is a very peaceful and beautiful place to be. With your dad being in a memory care facility, hospice will have a nurse come once a week to start to check on him and aides to come bathe him at least twice a week. You and your dad will also have access to their chaplain, social worker and volunteers, and hospice will supply any and all needed equipment, supplies, and medications all covered 100% under your dads Medicare. Plus it will be extra sets of eyes on him in his facility, as hospice is required by law to report any issues they observe. I would certainly do your research on any and all hospice agencies in your area as they are not all created equal. Best wishes on making the right decision for your dad.
