Hospice recommendations

[Yakoo752]

Thank you sir, it's appreciated. My wife and I are discussing benefits of home hospice vs. hospice in the convalescent facility.

from experience, the HHA underperforms until the very end.

I would convalesce elsewhere till the final days.

I used Vitas Hospice (IIRC) for my dad. I was very happy with their services and would wholly recommend them. My dad had congestive heart failure and some other stuff going on.

I used Bristol hospice for my mom and they were terrible. I have nothing positive to say about them. I think they're only up in the Sac/Roseville area though.

Milpitas?

They are the big one in the South Bay Area.

Weird our experience was just the opposite even in the sticks of New Mexico. I never thought there would be so much variation in Hospice care. That's a bummer.

I'm an n=1

I'm still blown away as to how much this costs

we were paying 12k a month for in home care
we're now paying 20k a month for long term care
It will increase when we have to convalesce

this is why you move your assets into a trust, when you get old.
