Since 1978, Hosparus Health has provided hospice and advanced illness care to tens of thousands of patients and their families in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Started by volunteers, we’re a fully accredited not-for-profit with care teams nationally recognized and respected for their innovation and expertise addressing the most complex health issues. In addition to hospice and advanced-illness care, we also offer grief counseling, respite care, and medication management.
Whether it's called Hospice or Hosparus, it's still about accomplishing end of life within 6 months. The "care" part is while your loved one is getting addicted to the strong drugs, later as they become addicted they stop eating and the "caregivers" remove their prescribed medications that are treating current medical issues and preventing death. The quantity and dosage of the comfort drugs like Morphine or like derivatives are gradually increased. And yes, things like prescribed heart medications and blood pressure meds are no longer given to the patient. In fact, anything that "extends life" is no longer given to the patient. Be sure you know what you're doing and the type of "care" your loved one will receive before calling Hospice or Hosparus. They are there to comfortably ease someone out of life within 6 months, not extend life whatsoever. Think of it as having Jack Kevorkian care for your loved one but over 6 months instead of instantly. Terminal cancer patients are one thing, but people can live with Dementia with proper care and die of natural causes in their own time. Don't rush it, you'll never forgive yourself if you do.
If you take a clean washcloth and dip in clean water then wipe the patients skin dip that wash cloth back in the water isn't the water now contaminated and should not be used again to wipe the patients body? How can you wipe a place with urine and feces and dip into water and believe that water is still clean water? Should you be wiping and tearing patients skin or be doing more patting?
Yes you’re correct, but they did not give a bed bath, they only cleaned the vagina and behind. They didn’t contaminate it because they didn’t use the wash cloth on the rest of the body. They’re just using it as a wipe per se but normally to avoid contamination when giving a bed bath you always start top to bottom , with vagina and anus being last to be washed, then you are done and can use a new washcloth to dip in the non soapy water to rinse them and then you’d use a clean dry off towel and you would pat dry . Hope this clears it up on why she didn’t switch.
NEVER have an adult hold around your neck, as shown in the video. If they had dropped back into the chair, the damage to he caregiver's upper spine could have been catastrophic. The signals controlling almost every bodily process pass through that area of the spinal cord. Including the signal instructing the muscle of the heart to contract and release.
Never use tap water. Never draw directly from the spoon with out something like a filter. Most importantly do not listen to this moron she will get you sick and possibly dead.
They provided the most awesome care we could expect. My wife was only in their care for less than a week before passing but the entire staff was incredibly compassionate.
I have to disagree!!! When they gave it to my husband please REMEMBER HE DID NOT ANY TERMINAL ILLNESS, HE WAS NOT IN PAIN, HE WAS TALKING LIKE YOU AND I, BECAUSE HIS INSURANCE WOULD COMPLAIN BECAUSE HE WENT TO THE E.R. QUITE A BIT, HIS DR. CONVINCED HIM TO GO HOME WITH HOSPICE!!!! WHY??? I have told you everything.......They brought him home and hospice came they had not only morphine but deladed! I know you's at hospice knows what a cocktail that would make? He didn't last 24 hrs. At all. It was needless. So please don't tell me about hospice and the morphine n other drugs you give....if he was dying I could see it. But he wasn't.
Hi Sheila, If you had care with HOSPARUS HEALTH, which is based out of Kentucky and Indiana, and have an issue with your care that you would like us to follow up on, please reach out to us on our website, hosparushealth.org. Hosparus Health is a hospice and palliative care organization based out of this region, but HOSPICE care is offered nationwide by other organizations. We are always happy to help debunk any myths or issues that surround our care.
I've been a hospice nurse for 11 years. Someone isn't going to qualify (and a patient needs to meet criteria set by Medicare to be admitted) unless two physicians certify the person's prognosis is six months or less life expected. I'm not sure how someone gets forced into hospice? Someone has to sign consents, without this, nothing further happens.
Bull...., My Husband had c.o.p.d... His ins. Cried wolf if he had to go to the E.R. he was bedridden and wore oxygen. He was at home and we took care of him. Well one day he was in the hospital and the Dr. Talked my daughter into signing up for hospice. My husband was talking, NOT in pain and they sent him home. When hospice arrived they had meds the Dr. Ordered for him...... MORPHINE AND DELADID!!!!!! BY DROPPER. WELL THAT NIGHT WE COULD NOT WAKE HIM FOR SUPPER. HE SLEPT ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT, CONTINUED INTO THE MORNING, AND MY BELOVED DIED AT 3:15 THAT AFTERNOON!! THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH THEIR MEDS. THEY ARE KILLERS. GOOD DAY.
We are sorry you feel this way about your hospice experience Sheila. We would like to point out that each hospice is different, but Hosparus Health's mission, a hospice in the Kentucky & Indiana area, is to improve the quality of life. Quality is the key here. We hope whomever you worked with helped you through your journey. Hospice may not be the choice for everyone, but we do believe it is the best way to spend your final moments.
@@HosparusHealth I understand when a person is in pain,or at the end of their poor days. Believe me I know that feeling too! I've been there through cancer with a lot of my family members. But I swear to you my husband was not in pain or didn't complain about discomfort. He did have to go to the E R periodically for a breathing treatment. He was as aware as you or I. But when they started him on those meds.... .. Forget it. The next afternoon he was dead.
It's not usually just one medicine that does a terrible thing to your loved one, it's when the give them double doses of different kinds of strong meds! Please believe me I know there are patience who need those strong meds! But my husband did not..... If they did it to him..... They sure have done it to other poor patients! I know I was a nurse I saw a lot. God bless you all!!!
Same exact thing happened to my father we was out with chainsaws now hospice and there morphine killed him he hasn't waken in 5 days they starved him and drugged him
@@chanogeezy6022 when you told the hospice nurse that you didn't feel those meds were in his best interest and you would like them stopped what response did you receive?
