I can't say enough about Hospice services. Technically, one's doctor needs to say the patient has less than 6 mos. to live before hospice can be considered. However, one can get better in hospice care and released. Most people wait too long to go into hospice. The average stay is a week. My mother was in hospice in Ann Arbor, MI at "Arbor Hospice" which is a residence. The care was fantastic. The whole family is supported as well with love and information. My mother's stay was about 10 days.
