Had our visit on Saturday and our follow up visit on Sunday with the weekend nurse for New Century Hospice. I swear to God, I've bought houses and signed less paperwork.
Nurses will call on us 3 times a week, social worker will call on us once a month, Volunteers will be out as needed to help with hygiene issues, etc. It's a real team effort.
While I always thought it was a death sentence and a wait till the last minute thing, we're finding out that the earlier you start "the process", the more benefits you receive.
While it's a dark subject, so far, this "team" has been very good to work with so far. Not very timely, but a part of that is the business they're in, too.
