Oh, that sounds so unprofessional & crass for hospice personnel. My goodness! That poor thing - it doesn't seem she can catch a break here & get much help at all. Usually hospice personnel are the very souls of kindness & empathy. As my brother was driving from out of state & my sister home with her husband who was going through a terrible bout of dementia when Mother was dying, I relied on hospice when other family, friends or church members were not around. Those hospice nurses & even the hospice clerical personnel with whom I dealt were like friends in no time, realizing the bedside family members are suffering so badly in their own ways. It would be great if she could change hospice services right away.
