If your loved one needs things like a hospital bed, a portable commode, a wheel chair, cleaning supplies, and some medications Palliative Hospices like Vitas are very helpful. And they do stick to the end. But if the patient improves then they will remove him or her from the Palliative Hospice.

The insurance gets all this or most of it.
