We looked into Hospice for mom for the last 8 moths of her life. She had dementia. Not saying your mom is anywhere to that stage, but it is something to consider in the future. Hopefully the Hospice by you is as good as the Ralph and Mary Wilson Hospice in Cheektowaga. Had her physician refer her to them. They evaluated her and determined that she could be seen at home.
They would come every other week, then weekly and then several times a week at the end. Besides keeping tabs on her, they helped us out by teaching us how to do certain things without injuring her. They had counselors and religious pep[le available to help us cope. The social worker had to come and lay it on the line to my brother that mom was dying soon. In fact it was maybe 2 weeks before the end that he seemed to finally face facts.
In the end, she died the way she wanted, at home and in her own bed at 95. Even after that they helped out. Would have called the undertaker for us if we wanted, came before the undertaker (they were only a mile away), signed the death certificate, removed all of her meds from the house. You get a hospice benefit from Medicare (at least in NY) and it didn't cost a cent.
Just file this knowledge away. Hospice workers are the closest thing to Angels on earth.
