[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 677938, member: 17461"] I was a Hospice volunteer, and took extra classes in Hospice during my training. I was too new a nurse to provide care to those facing the ends of their lives, and did not specialize in Hospice, though I continued to volunteer there. Those who elect to work with Hospice patients, either in a professional capacity or as volunteers, view their commitment as sacred. Your father will be very well cared for with a Hospice designation Serenity. Financially, all Hospice care is covered by Medicare. Hospice can be accessed whether Father is at home, in a rehab center, or in a nursing home. Hospice nurses specialize in pain management, Serenity. They are able to educate family members in what is happening, in how to respond, in how to know what they are seeing and feeling. Hospice involvement takes the fear away, so that the time spent with the loved one is sincerely rewarding for all. Hospice volunteers are trained to assist the person whose life is ending in life review, and to assist the family to understand the dying process, and to help the family cope with the grieving process after their loved ones have passed. Copa had posted to us that her experience with Hospice was less than optimal. I was so sorry to learn that this was so. For so many Hospice patients and families, Hospice involvement honors and consoles both patient and family. Cedar [/QUOTE]
