Hello Caregivers and people who have been suffering this terrible disease. Hospice care does not mean that you are at the end stages. I know someone who was on hospice for 5years. If you have a disease like parkinsons and you need help, hospice will pretty much step in. Reevaluation is done every 6months. Please find the local hospice number and give them a call. They even provide free supplies like diapers and wheelchairs and commodes. They also have chaplains and volunteers who will come to your home to help out. Call them NOW. ITS FREE. Dont listen to people who say Hospice will speed up the deterioration process. Hospice willevaluate, send their doctors out, give you an aide to help with toiletery needs and EVERYTHING.
