Can my husband leave a skilled nursing facility for rehab?

My husband has cancer and is getting weaker every day and is not capable of doing rehab. He is just laying in bed and has stopped eating. His wish is to go home and die. Can he do that?

I guess the question is, can you hire enough caregivers at home to make this doable? Is he eligible for hospice?

Can he simply stay in the facility on hospice and be comfortable there? Are YOU comfortable with him being at home?

I'm so sorry that you are both facing this very sad situation. You can and should discuss the options with the facility social worker.
