Needs to be dressed and has to have help showering. Has COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis. Three surgeries on hip replacement. Mechanical Valve on Blood thinner. He has had several bladder infections and is on maintenance antibiotic which keeps it at bay. If he goes on Hospice will he have to give up the antibiotic and the blood thinner? He has lots of issues but his vitals have been good.
Now if you're thinking of putting him on hospice, because you think they will give you some much needed help at home, you will be disappointed. as hospice will only send a nurse out once a week(for about a half hour) , to check his vitals, and an aide to bathe him a couple time a week as well. So 99.9% of his care will still be yours. Best wishes.
Wishing you the best of luck with a difficult situation
