We are Nathan Adelson Hospice. We are a nationally recognized organization that delivers the complex healthcare needed when a person no longer seeks a cure for their terminal illness. Since we provide end of life care to thousands of patients and families every year, we have seen and treated every imaginable illness, personal circumstance, family dynamic, and social situation.
What I won’t forget is … me telling the nurse Not to give her any morphine that she was coherent. He said she had pain when was their pain. When she was asked she said No she had none and she did want any morphine, she didn’t like the feeling. Got a call she passed 30 min after I left that she passed. What I remember is that your nurse played God! You robbed me of my goodbye, She was only at Hospice because I was tired. She was supposed to come home. Basically you euthanized her like a dog at the shelter. Yeah, there’s a difference between making someone comfortable and stopping their breathing. Mostly, that’s what I will remember! What you need to do is stop patting yourself on the backs like your angels of mercy. Actually, it’s the direct opposite
The difference is for profit cares nothing about the patients and families. All they care about is filling beds. Many of those on services in a for profit hospice are not even hospice appropriate.

My beautiful husband Mike is with JESUS, in heaven. GOD gave him to me for 43 years. He was on palliative care for 6 months, hospice for four days. In our home, together. We were one. My heart is in heaven, as I will be one day.
Hospice (if you need inpatient hospice care) is not cheap. If you stay in a hospice inpatient facility you will be paying around $6,000 a month for room and board. "Medicare fully covers hospice care." That statement is misleading. It does not cover room and board in an impatient facility. Medicare does not cover it, Medicare Advantage does not cover it, Medigap plans do not cover it. That is why most people die at home on hospice care. Their family members are responsible for their 24 hour a day care... hospice professionals make an occasional visit to their home to provide some limited service while they go thru the dying process.
If you are on original Medicare, your "100% Hospice coverage" does not include room and board in an inpatient facility.... typically around $6,000 a month. You forgot to say that. That is why most people end up dying at home with their family members responsible for their day to day care. Hospice just pays for drugs, some durable equipment and an occasional hospice nurse visit or someone to occassionaly help you take a shower. If you want 24 hour a day medical supervision in a dedicated hospice inpatient facility.... you will pay for that yourself. Unless some charity steps up or perhaps if you are destitute and on Medicaid.
Thank you to Nathan Adelson for the memorial. Troy and I were married for 35 years and the pain of losing him, my best friend, my love was too much to bare. But we were told he only had 6 months. He was with us girls, his daughter and now 4 year old granddaughter and myself for 2 1/2 years. We were blessed. He is missed dearly and will forever remain in our hearts. He would be proud of how strong the 3 of us girls have been...its for him that we try not to cry and find our strength in each other. He was our HERO! Troy, I hope you have found peace in heaven and that you know how very much I miss you and that I will forever love you....Goodbye my love.
All my thanks to Mike(nurse) that was so kind to my husband Mike Lichvar, who died on July 28th 2023. Mike was so gentle with my husband, and I was convinced that he really cared about Mike's passing. I think of him often, fondly, and with profound gratitude. So , if Mike is still there, I just want to say, "you meant a lot to us"
I'm currently a home healthcare worker and my boss offered me a position.. He thinks id be great at it.. Yet, honestly.. Im so afraid I'd get to attached or something... I'm still thinking about it..
Palliative care is also called comfort care for pain and symptom management. You can still receive life-prolonging medication for the disease. Palliative care can include mental health support as well as physical. Hospice care also provides comfort but only begins after stopping treatment for the disease and wants comfort only treatment.

Going through Hospice now, I agree they are the most terrific team of nurses & care givers . Unbelievable quality care , we are so great full there is such a thing as Hospice !
I didn’t have insurance when I got my diagnosis for terminal cancer. My social worker said that they signed me up for disability which then automatically qualifies me for Medicaid. They told me it would cost me nothing for the hospital bills and for hospice. I started looking on RU-vid and many people are saying that they will put a lien on my house? How dies this work?
My daddy is 88 yrs old.He has a 20 yr history of TIA’s and had an ischemic stroke in 2020. Between the ischemic stroke and his advanced stage Alzheimer’s he has just been accepted to hospice. From the videos I’ve watched on Utube I see it takes a special type of person to work in the hospice roles. I already feel a sense of relief knowing they are going to help me get daddy’s needs met that I can’t do myself. I am his oldest daughter and I was daddy’s full time caregiver for the last 7 years until it was damaging my health and it became absolutely necessary for daddy to have 24 hr care😢. I appreciate the help w daddy so I can be able to be free to support my 74 yr old husband who has his own chronic health issues.
Is it worth it at this point. Nit trying to be disrespectful. But i can't trust drs and nursesri treat pain with this bs about opiates. I think ill just chose a another option
As someone who has worked in both , i can tell you that the for-profits basically embezzle money away from patient care minimizing time and resources given to patients and families and pay their nurses less and work them to burnout with higher turnover. Non-profits attract the best more experienced nurses who enjoy a better working environment and pay and soend less time awake at night wondering if they did the right things for patients. The evil influence of greed has attracted for-profit corporatization because they can see a chance to bleed money away from excellent care and provide “decent” care in its place- just decent enough to avoid complaints fines and legal trouble
All of a sudden you want to be serious.. Just getting paid right. I can't even look at you without thinking about everybody loves Raymond and I know you're full of crap. Ain't funny no more right.
My father was 90, NAH approached me at the hiopital. He had gone into a coma. Talked me into taking him to Swenson location. He laid there for 6 days, all seemed well. On the 7th day I was told he had to go. He had visits from housekeeper, etc. Said he was too wealthy and should go, or pay 700 per day . These people are all about the money.
My best friend is currently taking care of her mother in law while she passes. Hospice has been involved, but it’s extremely different than what I thought. I thought they were there around the clock assisting the family. She is literally in the last phase and will be passing very soon. However, I really thought the Hospice professionals would stay there for the end. Rather than just an hour each day. I’m not trying to sound negative about them, they have been such a blessing. I’m just confused about what happens for the last few hours. Thank you very much.
As a patient who has been in hospice care and palliative care, this video doesn't inform anyone of anything other than we can get pain meds. That is all I get from my current palliative care. As far as I can tell the only difference is that on hospice a nurse came to me instead of me going to the office every 45 to 60 days. In neither case does anyone listen to my concerns(other than pain control.) I am not impressed at all.
Thank you so very much for the wonderful care my sister, Judy McCoy received while in your hospice facility. I miss my baby sister so much and you helped to make her passing a little less traumatic. Bless you all from Judy’s family.
Gracias por la conmemoración virtual ,lo recibe mi corazón con mucho agradecimiento…mi Esposo dejó de sufrir por el cancer hace 2 meses,seguramente jamás abandonara mi corazón 🌻 🦋
Hospice nurses play a critical role in managing the medications and symptoms of both inpatient and home care hospice patients. They work closely with the interdisciplinary team to develop and implement a care plan that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient. One of the key responsibilities of hospice nurses is to manage the medications of their patients. This involves closely monitoring the patient's symptoms and adjusting medications as needed to manage pain, nausea, shortness of breath, and other symptoms that may be affecting the patient's quality of life. Hospice nurses also educate patients and their families about the medications that are being prescribed and how to take them properly. In addition to managing medications, hospice nurses also play a critical role in managing the symptoms of their patients. They use a variety of techniques and interventions to help manage symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life. This may include providing oxygen therapy, administering nebulizer treatments, providing wound care, and providing comfort measures such as massage and relaxation techniques. For inpatient hospice patients, hospice nurses are responsible for fine-tuning medications and symptom management in the inpatient facility. They work closely with the patient's interdisciplinary team to ensure that the patient is receiving the appropriate medications and symptom management strategies to help them maintain their comfort and quality of life. For home care hospice patients, hospice nurses visit the patient's home to monitor their symptoms, provide medications, and offer support and education to the patient and their family. They work closely with the patient's primary caregiver to ensure that the patient is receiving the appropriate medications and symptom management strategies to help them maintain their comfort and quality of life at home. Overall, hospice nurses are a vital part of the hospice care team. They play a critical role in managing the medications and symptoms of hospice patients, fine-tuning medication at inpatient facilities if necessary, and helping patients and their families to navigate the end-of-life journey with dignity and grace.

Fernanda had lost her mother of cancer and she had feel about her dying. She cried every day about her mom going to the Mormon Church every Sunday mass and Saturday night mass in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the San Diego Mormon Temple. She was Mormon over 40 years in Brazil. She cried for her every day and really missed her mother so much.
Some cancer patients are lucky to be cancer free and out of hospice and palliative for their loved ones and my caregiver Fernanda had her mother Edna Smith had passed away from cancer and she’s not in pain anymore nearly two years ago.
