I just left a job in August with a visiting nursing group and worked primarily with hospice. I know that with us, we had a 6 month or less expectancy to be admitted into the program. Of course, often these patients lived longer. Hospice is really where my real passion lies. I loved working it. We also had a palliative care program where we would do essentially the same but often these people were still receiving some medical treatments. Hospice is generally for comfort only i.e. oxygen, medications, daily visits. Please keep us posted on what happens. Anything like this can only enhance her daily living and be very beneficial to those around her.
