keep your old people home with you and avoid this treatment....if not, no complaining....my mother kept my grandmother at our house...she had cancer.....6 kids, some of us sharing a bed...and yet my mom and day did this...it can be done.

GOD BLESS YOU!!!
I cared for my beloved husband until God took him home August 23,2021. He never left my side. I did pay a caretaker to come in M-F from 8-6....I was beyond exhausted when he finally passed away... but heart broken. He died at 83 years old after a long struggle with Parkinsons.
I do not regret ONE MOMENT of this time... not ONE!!!
using any restraint involves much paperwork, specific orders, and of course a drs order....
I didn't like hospice for my mom...they sent an aide and she gave a quick bed bath...the social worker was nice, she sang to my mother, and my mother would have liked her to come back again to visit, but she never did....
AMEN~~~~ AMEN!!!!!!!!
That’s a great story. And I know exactly what you mean by “ a genial old black woman in Dixie” from the times that I visited my dad’s Mississippi home town.
Good choice. Much more original than mushrooms.
A hospice nurse (??) came once a week to bathe my husband or tried to get him into the shower. I was in touch with a different hospice company and the owner was appalled to hear that the nurse never changed his bed. She actually came to the house armed with literature about her company and changed his bed while she was here. I would have been wise to make the change in companies but no desire to take on the unknown at that point. I was totally worn out...
