Hospice care has been ordered for my Mom. Her weight is at an all time low. She's not eating or drinking very much anymore. Neurologist hypothesizes that dementia impairment is advanced to the point my mom doesn't know how to swallow without being coached or promoted in real time.
Selected hospice care agency and there was significant friction between the residence my parents live and the hospice nurse. It escalated to the point of speaking with the executive director of the facility and the corporate nurse for the facility.
If a staff member is interfering with someone outside their purview providing care, I have a significant problem with that.
Hopefully this has been corrected and there will not be any retaliation or drop in the quality of care either of my parents receive.
Don't know how much time my mom has left. I guess that's between her and god.
I am hopeful this is the most kind, caring and compassionate stage of her life.
