While I was on vacation, Sunbridge called Patty and recommended Hospice. Patty chose Legacy. I met with Legacy Hospice and we are starting hospice care for Aunt Dot. These ladies seemed really great and caring. I am hoping with more visitors for Aunt Dot she will come back. She is pretty out of it. They are keeping her doped up due to pain and she sleeps alot. You have to wake her each time you go in. she is always asleep.
The nurse that I talked with from Legacy, Terri Lynn, says that the pain that patients with dimentia feel is different, but it is there. I had been told that these patients do not feel pain. I was concerned about all the meds but they (nurses and doctor) do seem to know a bit more about it than I do!
