BenjiBoy Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I now know that hospice is a necessary solution to my wife's battle to live....I know that this battle is way beyond my decreasing stamina. Which one should I contact? I can have oxygen tanks delivered when my concentrator fails to deliver enough . She no longer is taking whole food and her fluid intake is small. Medication would probably be in the "emotional" needs only. She is not in any pain. Cost if you know it, although, I can probably afford the local charges. Thanks, Fred Habacht 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 You have to decide how far you want to go. My mother had to have feeding tube inserted and lived that way for a few months. Supplying oxygen may not be enough. You have to decide if you want to see her intubated. Does she have a urinary catheter? She has to be turned every couple of hours to prevent skin breakdown. Those bed sores are very painful. Good luck. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jreboll Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Do you want to transfer to a home or do you want a hospice attendant to come by? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiBoy Posted September 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I want her to able to sleep in a bed and not sit up because she can't breath. I want her to be encouraged to eat and drink. I want her to be given drugs to keep her from such fear of dying....I want....what ever I can do for her and if a special home will do that...so be it.

Two very satisfied friends have had husbands (each until deceased) in Ohana in San Juan Cosala. Also a friend moved to El Chante Assisted Living, who knew she was nearing (difficult) end of life, and she passed there. It is lovely and I suggest you check it out.

Irish Gal Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I have sent you a DM with my experience with my terminally ill husband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Fred--My husband spent his final months in Casa Nostra's full-care facility where he got the best of care. I was with him daily. I saw how well-cared for he was. Delia, the director, is a hands-on, on-the-scene administrator and is a fully trained nurse herself. I'm so sorry for what you and your wife are going through/.

BenjiBoy Posted September 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Lexy...thanks.....I am hopeful to find a place closer to Joco so I can visit often. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
