Hospice care can take place in one’s home. That will enable physical access which may not be guaranteed in this time of Covid. Take care of yourself; hugs.

I do recommend starting the hospice services now though, for you as much as for him. They can come to the home too, not just in facilities. slim cat on "The Long Goodbye..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-goodbye#post-2248960 Fri, 21 Jan 2022 04:43:01 +0000 slim cat 2248960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So sorry - difficult times.

It's so very tough and awful. This is gutting news, and my heart goes out to you. My Mum was in palliative care and hospice so I get how painful and hard this is. Really hope your Dad can be kept comfortable. Take care of yourself. Take the time you need to process it all. Sending strength and courage to you and your sister. We are here for moral support. Much love. xo Sisi on "The Long Goodbye..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-goodbye#post-2248900 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 17:54:37 +0000 Sisi 2248900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am very sorry, Chewy.

Anonymous on "The Long Goodbye..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-goodbye#post-2248882 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 16:05:53 +0000 Anonymous 2248882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry to hear that you are traveling a rough road right now.  You will need lots of patience and support.  Hospice will make him comfortable and control his pain, but will living in a new place be confusing with his dementia?  My dad did not want to leave his nursing home even to go get an ice cream sundae because new experiences were just too mentally painful.  He would not use strange restrooms, which could be a huge problem.  Take care of yourself physically and emotionally.   Helena on "The Long Goodbye..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-goodbye#post-2248853 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 14:31:56 +0000 Helena 2248853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So incredibly sorry to hear this news. What a long road he has walked, and all of you too - the family and caregivers suffering is just as profound as the patients, in so many ways. Take good care of yourself, and sending thoughts of comfort and peace to your Dad. xx Janet on "The Long Goodbye..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-long-goodbye#post-2248845 Thu, 20 Jan 2022 13:13:46 +0000 Janet 2248845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh Khris, I’m so sorry. This time is so hard, but it’s good you are able to be with him — at least I hope that’s the case, since Covid made it so hard for so many people to be with loved ones while they went through their final days. Hug your family and take care of yourself the best you can while you are by your father’s side for his final journey.
