I did home hospice. So most of my patients were cancer or cardiac patients who didn't want extreme measures. Just actions that would improve quality of life so they could stay in their own homes and die there. I would do things like organize oxygen, wheelchair delivery, counseling for family members or patient, medication management, home health aides to assist in cleaning/bathing. I once helped organize a patient's outing to her grandson's ball game. Like I said, our goal was quality of life. To make it possible for a patient to enjoy as much as their life as they could.
And in the process, I learned how to enjoy my life more too.
I am glad you had a good experience with hospice. There are good hospice nurses and not so good ones like in everything. I am glad you got a good one.
