My Mom started going down hill over 5 months ago from fall so many times with Parkinson/dementia. She did not have a concussion of the skull but a concussion of the brain the Neurologist doctor said. We had her in assistant living, rehab, and then she had to go into the nursing home.
Last Thursday she was not responding to us and we asked the Hospice nursing, during a meeting, for Mom to be put in the Hospice hospital because she had someone in her room & there was no privacy for the ones that wanted to see Mom. The lady in the room with her, which I'm sure she does not know she does it, has bowel movements all the time plus they are the type that goes everywhere. We have to step outside of Mom's room and raise the windows to be able to stand it.
Hospice nurse said that anyone who wants to say their goodbye's needs to do it now with Mom but it's so crowded in her room you can not get hardly anyone in there. There is not another room, private, that is available at the nursing home.
We are taking turns staying with Mom at night so she won't be by herself when she passes(she was always afraid of that) and also during the day. It is really hard on us as family .

According to the paper Hospice gave us, Mom has all the criterias for going there but they tell us all kinds of things that don't add up to why she can't go there. Any suggestions? Thanks
I'm sorry they don't have a private or available room to move you into.
I am sure your love comforted her.
