Well, this is a clear tragedy...these people can be soooo supportive and helpful and caringand compassionate...absolutely invaluable to a family going through this....how sad she does not have an effective hospice....she needs to be sure and tell the social eworker she does dont recommend this particular one....sometimes, if she can get the social worker alone and talking, the SW will recommend the one she would use for HER family member....VISITING ANGELS HOME CARE...This is a service that provides help for people at home...I know 2 different people that have utilized this service...neither one was for a patient that was in pallative care...I dont know if they do that....just a name for a service she may check out....
