Important discussion. If such a choice to stay at home is made, then how would the spouse/caregiver have enough physical support for 24 hour around the clock care for the patient which could probably occur almost constantly? Financially, that would prove to be unreasonable since the medicare/medical supplement insurance would not cover it?
Most people would prefer to die at home. Most spouses would like to provide that option. It isn't always feasible, but it should not be dismissed without careful consideration.
Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
