I'm Happy. Mom is receiving Hospice care

[Janderso]

I never thought I'd be happy about it, but she can go home now, to assisted living with her stuff, her bed, her memories.
She has been on a downward journey for several weeks now.
You all have been great. We all go through this time in our lives.
After reading, 'Is it time to consider Hospice Care?"
All 8 questions were answered with yes.
Her Hospitalist was very gracious and agreed, the best path for your mother would be Hospice care over skilled nursing.
What a relief!

They do deserve the best,they sacrificed a lot for us.

Jeff, I hope the best for your mom and you and your family.

Will keep your family in my thoughts as you go through this transition.

Hospice allowed my wife to pass at home, they were lifesavers. I don't think I could have survived (whole) without them

My family had Hospice come in when my grandmother was dying from lung cancer. It was a huge help for my grandfather who was doing everything he could to care for her.
It is incredible what help they can provide with just a phone call and ask for nothing in return.

The journey you are embarking on, will be some of the worst of your life, while you are going down the road. But when it is over, you will be glad you chose the hospice route. We will keep you and your family in our prayers, while you go through this ( and after). Thankyou for not just dropping her off somewhere, and not looking back, I have seen that way too much in my prior life.

You will be happy to remember that you did your best for her when the time comes, and you will have no regrets.

Hope it goes as well as such things go, Jeff. Went through this same thing with my Mom a few years back. The Hospice folks we had, were fantastic people.
