“For my mom, hospice meant a humane way to the end of her life that was dedicated and compassionate. A hospital ICU does the best they can but they are often understaffed and the atmosphere is grim. As a nurse my mom knew the alternative of passing at home is very taxing both physically and mentally on the surviving spouse or caregiver.
For my family, to our very pleasant surprise, hospice was tranquil, gentle and focused. Whatever we needed, we were accommodated. That included my father who was by my mom’s side day and night for the 3 week stay she had in hospice.” – Victoria Ashley
