(((Rose))) I think they are honoring and respecting your and his choice to stay at home. That is why they are saying it is time for hospice care at home. Then instead of going to emergency, specialized care or medication could be given at home by the hospice care personnel? I didnt think there was that much difference between the hospice care at a hospice center vs at home.

It seems it might be easier on the patient, as instead of deteriorating to the point where you say, okay we better take you to the ER, for example a change in temperature could be addressed immediately. Thats a simplistic example but you get my drift.
