I am open to change the hospice & the long term medicaid plan services. My mother 89 years old needs 24/7 care and it is extremely difficult for me to provide this service by myself. She is terminal ill. Hospice is providing one hour daily for personal care and the Medicaid long term care diversion program is providing 2 hours daily. I talked to these services and requested to increase the daily hours however, they have refused. Please let me know if I need to change the Hospice and the long term diversion program to another plans that cares for the patient and the caregiver.
When it gets down to truly, end of life times, 10 days at the Hospice House are covered by Medicare.
If your hospice does not provide these things, I would check around or delegate it to another family member stressing urgency. You don't need more on your plate during this time. I lucked out on the first one I called due to hearing great things about them before the crisis. I was fortunate and am very thankful.
God bless you on this difficult journey. Wishing you and your mom real life answers that bring you peace and comfort.
I understand that Hospice personal care hours are limited, but I'm surprised that the Medicaid program won't increase the hours. We were getting 32 hours a week at the end. Have you asked for a new needs assessment? Maybe it varies a lot by state ...
