Hospice can be in hospital (if the hospital you're in has the service) or at home but there is a time limit to how long the service can be provided using government money. That's my minimal understanding of the sitch. Mom has also told Dad he's not coming home unless he can get in and out of bed and get to the washroom himself. She's 75 years old, cannot lift him and nursing is provided for three hours per day. So, we'll take it one day at a time.
