My late husband had cancer and hospice care and died at home. My mother had dementia and was in hospice at a nursing home. They both seemed OK with where they were and their passing. Neither was in much pain. I have 2 grown children so that is a factor for me. But my son has my POA and knows and understands my wish not to prolong anything. He lives in a state that has lenient laws where I plan to move eventually, if something sudden doesn't take me first. If I am diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another degenerative disease then I will think and look into other options then.
