My wife's oncologist gave a referral to Palliative Care at the local hospital's Supportive Care Clinic. We've met with them and they will guide us through the care process including hospice at home.
I've had telephone conversations with North Dakota Health & Human Services personnel and they are coming to our house next week. They will provide Companion and Respite care free of charge.
Thank you for the suggestions.

@boilerbob, I appreciate the update and that you were able to get services in place. As you prepare for your visit, I encourage you to keep pen and paper handy so you can jot down your questions as they pop into your head.

I encourage you to also think of questions you may have about you. Palliative care services are there to support you and your wife. Like @IndianaScott has said elsewhere, palliative care allowed him to be the husband and partner again and not the medical team.

How are you and your wife doing today?
