You and your loved ones will never regret it. I am no longer involved with either St. Francis Hospice or Hospice Hawaii, the two providers on Oahu. But I know they still are lovingly managed and can do wonders in the grace and comfort area for both terminally ill people and their loved ones. I know, too, that they have a common complaint. The U.S. government, which is fairly hard-headed about such things, is willing to fund hospice care for the last six months of life under both Medicare and Medicaid.
Many medical plans do, too.
For most terminally ill people, hospice is a win-win choice. More appropriate care. My first encounter with hospice was in London in 1977. The Star-Bulletin had run a series of articles on the inadequacies of terminal care. I wanted to see it done right.
