They say that my mom will have a nurse once a week. Sometime they come, sometimes they don't. Medicine she needs is never is ordered on time. Suppose to have a social worker available. Sometimes she gets back to you or sometime no response! My mom has dementia.
She needs more attention. I am there 4 days a week. She is no longer walking. Very difficult to get her up. She weights maybe 70lbs. I'm a small person myself, but she is dead weight.
I was wondering if someone could recommend a good Hospice. We live in Lake Worth, Florida. Hoping that someone on this forum is from my area. And can recommend one. Hopefully better than the one we have now.
Thank you.
The clergy and social workers are now down to on request, or a phone call. So be certain to make that request.
Who chose this Hospice group? Whomever did, MD or other, they are the ones to tell about the poor care.
You can Fire Hospice or replace them with another, but you need to go through the proper channels.
As to a "good one". Now rare as hen's teeth. They are corporate owned and profiting like mad from Medicaid.
You may be faced with placement for mom. Hospice care can continue in placement. They are otherwise very little help.
I am so sorry. Your experience mirrors what is happening/has happened to Hospice in recent times.
Call whomever brought this group in and request they be replaced ASAP.
