Forgive me, but I don't think I responded to your post. Hospice did come to my home to assess my husband. But he was declining so quickly that last wednesday they suggested that he go to a good samaritan house which is a part of hospice. it was a wonderful place. They had 10 beds and when we took him on last wednesday, he was the only patient they had. He got all of their undivided attention and care. I could have never given him the care he needed. So he died comfortably and peacefuly there on Sunday the 23rd. Medicare paid for all of it.
