Can someone explain what hospice is/does?

8. Thanks Tab

That was a great explanation, Tab. One of the women here at the nursing home (excuse me "assisted living facility&quot had hospice before she died, and I kind of wanted to know what would happen. The director here assured me they wouldn't move me into the nursing home proper unless it took more than one worker to assist me at a time (that would cut into the television watching time of the other worker, you understand). We'll see if I can hold her to that. I hate to be so negative about the place in which I am living, but he thing is, they are accustomed to dealing with old people, not people living with cancer. However the local Cancer Society has a hospice that works with local cancer patients. I hope they will consent to work with me.
