In a discussion on Catholic radio sometime ago, it was said that after ‘entering hospice’, if the patient or their family insisted on stopping the process, they would not be accepted by Hospice again.
I’m glad we’re talking about this. I want to know more.

I think if I had anyone in my family that was nearing hospice treatment, I’d be doing some research. There must be policies written in the law on a state by state basis. I can’t remember if denying hospice in the future once you sign out was an issue for my friend here in Florida. It seems to me that even in the dying process one would have some bodily autonomy. We have Living Wills that dictate what treatment we will accept or not accept. Then again, it may depend upon what sort of treatment hospice will afford you. Will it be caring for the dying in a humane and pain free way or for someone like my friend who needs certain treatment not given in any other institution. (That always seemed a bit odd to me.) And, I don’t think I’ve heard about food trollies rolling down the halIs either. I believe hospice in Florida is paid for by Medicare. I never received a bill. Hmm. Here is me wearing my conspiracy shoes. Maybe hospice is refused payment by the state if the patient doesn’t die there.
