[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 4339773, member: 45783"] Hospice, with an effective pain & anxiety control protocol, will allow people to pass away in comfort & dignity. Had a close relative pass away recently who had a prescribed fentanyl patch, & also received morphine & Ativan every 3 hrs ATC. Was on that regimen for weeks. The most common response I’ve heard from families about hospice is they wish they brought the patient in sooner. Most people think Hospice is only for someone actively dying, but you can be eligible for hospice months prior to death. The MD only has to document he/she believes the patient will pass away within 6 months. [/QUOTE]
