Patient is in the home at present. I am not sure how the protocol between hospice and nursing home works if I admit my mom to a nursing home that has a contract with hospice. I can monitor medicines at home an make sure she is just not doped up on pain pills I am afraid if I admit to a nursing home that has contract with hospice they will just give her pain pills.
How do you get someone into a nursing home directly from home? I am told if not under hospice you have to go from the hospital.
She is on dialysis Can she keep her insurance with Medicare, GMP and Medicaid. Does hospice come everyday to see them and feed the patients
Just what do they do.
If your mom is eligible for hospice you can have it at home or in a nursing home or in a special facility devoted to hospice care. My husband had hospice care at home. It was wonderful.
If mom goes into a nursing home she will not be on hospice care unless 1) she is eligible for it (that is, she is likely to die soon) and 2) she/you agree to it.
Is your mother in a lot of pain now?
