My Mom started hospice in August and it has been amazing. I agree with @A myALZteam Member that it is a good thing to start hospice when you are not in crisis so you can get to know the team that will be on the last leg of this journey with you and your loved one. I was also able to “shop around” and interview a few companies to find one that fit our family and that my Mom and I connected with.

Thank you Janbar122. Your words gave me hope that some better days are coming. And LancelotDavis, you are amazing to handle this monster so well.

Great to hear this, MarkLowery. Thank you for posting.

I’ll just echo what everyone else has said. We’ve been in Hospice care since March 2021. The hospice team are like family now. I believe it’s good to develop that relationship early to get over the awkwardness of new people in your home.
Very pleased with all they do.

RobertED that info is so helpful. Yes, many people associate hospice with end of life measures. Our Dr at the VA also confirmed that my husband is in the realm of qualifying for hospice care. She said when speech, mobility and incontinence all have declined, he is qualified for it. I've heard many good things about hospice care.
