When my wife enter its hospice facility for pain management, she could converse, walk short distances with a walker, bath herself with a wash cloth, feed herself, sit up, watch TV, etc. With a little help, she could take care of her basic needs. A few hours after entering a hospice facility, hospice managed to turn her into a bedridden zombie that can no longer do any of these things. Since she has been here, hospice has feed her nothing and has given her little to drink. Actually, they almost immediately put her in a condition where she could not eat and could only occasionally drink small amounts. They blame this rapid, almost instantaneous, decline on her disease. I have become convinced that the policy of hospice is to kill by patient as quickly as possible by starvation or dehydration and blame the death on the disease. If hospice feed and water an animal as little as it does its patients, it would be fined for animal cruelty. Dont let hospice get its hands on anyone you love.
