I have experience with it, my father was in a hospice. I highly recommend a hospice for loved ones when God has prepared a place for them, and the time is right. The hospice we utilized was beautiful, and helped me through it. I couldn't have had my father at home, he was an alcoholic, and a mess. He was always shouting, especially at me. He had assisted living, and then straight into hospice, no SNF care.
