His palliative care doctor checks in periodically. Recently referred him to be assessed by hospice, but he did not yet qualify because deemed to be stage 6. The only time we got in home assistance was after emergency hip surgery after a fall. Medicare does not cover this unless patient is on hospice. In home care is very expensive out of pocket. His medical bills were catastrophic after months in ICU. Legal bills also expensive when I was forced to hire an attorney after discovering his siblings interferred with his rightful inheritance because they assumed he was going to die when he was on life support. That issue has now dragged on for over a decade.So I rather have a full plate and care for him myself until he may qualify for hospice care.
