Written by Noni's primary care physician on January 14, 2011..."I believe that the most humane plan is to consult hospice services to provide comfort care for this elderly woman who can maintain her dignity at home and still enjoy the comfort and familiarity of her home surroundings...."
"Nursing homes bring a substantial amount of anxiety to the demented elderly through a lack of familiarity of surroundings and are not without risk of infection from other patients."
Note that this was written on January 14, 2011. Why wasn't Noni at home? Why wasn't hospice brought in until the week of April 11th....three months later? Why wasn't comfort care started until three months after the doctor recommended it? Between the time this was written by the doctor and the day my Grandmother died, she was rushed to the hospital two times with pneumonia....infection from other patients? Did they just want to keep her alive so that they could steal more money from her trust? Definitely a possibility....don't you think? They allowed her to suffer in that God awful, sub-standard nursing home and defied her doctor's recommendation. Unconscionable!
