So me and my 19yo sister was adopted by our grandparents when we were a couple of months old. When I was 16yo my "dad" (grandpa) passed away after having a major stroke and my mom sent him to hospice to pass on. In March of this year my mom had congestive heart failure and had to have open heart surgery. Following the surgery she had a pretty serious stroke, but unlike my dad she was still able to talk & swallow. My mom cannot use the right side of her body, and she is very confused. The doctors said it was Alzheimer's/Dementia. Our older sisters (grandmas daughters) called hospice for "home help" or something like that... Please someone tell me what hospice is? I'm so confused and Hospice scares me...
You can look up hospice on the "elder care" tab on this site.
