My husband's doctor would not answer my question about why he died rapidly after diagnosis of vascular dementia. Who should I talk to?

Home hospice is not 24/7 care. Nursing home has many residents to care for, so wouldn't be 24/7 either. The only way to receive 24/7 is to hire an agency with three shifts of caregivers. Did he want to die at home? Did you want him to die at home? Perhaps he had another stroke and if on hospice they will not treat it.

I am sorry for your loss.

You have my sympathy on the death of your husband. I see on your profile that your late husband had had a stroke. Many people who have one stroke have another. What was it about the hospice care that your husband received that you found "supervised neglect"? What was the diagnosis that qualified your husband for hospice?

So very sorry about your husband. I really don't understand how you could be forced into home care by a doctor, this is not the doctors decision, it is yours. When my husband was dying I moved him into one of our rental properties and hired a full time nurse. The last week I placed him in Hospice, all my decisions. As for about why he died, I would request his medical records, if the doctor does not immediately supply them, go to an attorney.

You can request his medical records and have them reviewed.

Sometimes they just don't know why someone died so suddenly. It is difficult to not know.

I am sorry for your loss. Hugs!
