The NH wants to suggest Hospice Care. He is not terminal yet and he still wants medical care for his various issues. I'm not ready for him to do this either. I need information about Hospice Care, providers, what they do and not offer for patient care, and when is this suggested for the patient? If my dad doesn't want Hospice Care yet, what are his rights or mine as his POA?
No, they cannot force Hospice on a resident.
As said Medicare pays the cost.
