Hi @Kathleen83, just wondering how things are going.

Also, I visited a hospice patient a few weeks ago -- the husband of someone in our Buddhist group. I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out that he was quite lucid and I was with him for over 90 minutes!

I've learned that hospice sometimes can be used as free nursing home care if the referral is coded properly. Hospice services usually are covered at 100%. This gentleman seemed in better shape than me in some ways. But he is a fall risk. His wife is still working and can't take care of him. It's such a shame that he's stuck there.
