Praise God! Mom was immediately admitted to the in-home hospice program. It came highly recommended by my boss, so we know she'll be getting quality care. The first thing they did was order her a hospital bed, which arrived by the end of the day. Now she will be much more comfortable (she can't lie down in a bed and had been sleeping in a chair). Several health care professionals will come to her apartment at various times throughout each week, there are chaplains and counselors available as well as volunteers who can just come and visit and/or run errands. There is also a 24/7 phone number for questions/emergencies. Also, everything provided in the program is covered under Medicare. What a God-send this program is! Thanks to all of you who prayed! My husband was suffering caregiver burnout, and I was reaching the end of my limits as well.
Mom is finally in hospice program
