My husband has dementia, for the last 3 days he hasn't had an appetite, he has eaten very little, he is not wanting to get a shower or undress, he is saying I'm hurting him when I'm not at all, he has gotten worse in just 3 days, from what I've read he seems to be in the 6th stage.
If they feel it's not the right time, they will tell you, and perha[s palliative care mau be a good solutions.
Trust them, Get DNR in order, etc
Have you called his doctor and asked for advice? His doctor would be the logical person to ask for a hospice evaluation, yes?
