Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 When will you know it is time for Hospice? The assisted living director talked with me about it the other day. She said not to think of this as a " death notice " , but as some comfort measures. I guess it would be more palliative care than actual hospice. The doctor told us Friday, that within a year if not sooner, she would probably be bed ridden and not know us. On one of her bad days I can see this, but then on a good day I don't and think she may out live us all. Her oxygen level at the doctor's office was in the 70s and she refuses to use oxygen at home. I know this can't be good for her organs and it increases her confusion. Any opinions about Hospice? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
