hospice is failing

let me explain:

when my mom went on hospice i thought it was going to be like my grandmas 2013 experience. hospice was there 24/7 when it was close.

my mom was lucky if they came twice a week. my dad was her full time care giver with my help as well. there were several concerning instincts too like when i called the nurse to please come because my mom was very uncomfortable. screaming in pain. 2 hours go by. i call back. an hour later a very angry daughter calls me, “WHY ARE YOU CALLING MY MOMS HOSPICE NURSE?!”

excuse me??!!!

turns out, the triage person who took my calls didn’t verify the patient. they sent my messages to the wrong nurse. my moms still screaming.

don’t be surprised when your hospice company fails you.

they are short staffed. they can’t do it all.

we need death with dignity in missouri.

start the conversation with your representative’s!
