[@DacesWithWerewolves8]

As someone who works in long time care, I am deeply passionate that people are cared for and treated with dignity in their last phases of their lives. But what people don't understand is that the last thing a dying or aging person wants it to feel like they are in the hospital. Even in retirement and nursing homes like where I work is doing renovations, but the residents don't want white walls, and fancy modern lighting and decor. They want to feel at home, to have bright and warm colors, plenty of space for personal items and photos. They want activities that don't make them feel like toddlers and to have good, tastey food! We are failing our elderly and our dying to meet our own standards rather than theirs.

[@MisschiefsCat]

I was in a nursing home at the age of about 19 or 20(it was the only place who could take care of me between surgeries in my rural community). It was a good place with amazing staff, but it wasn’t a place to get better. I have a disease that isn’t necessarily fatal, but also easily can be, and I was one of the worst cases of my illness that most of my doctors had ever had to deal with. Plus I lived very rurally. One of the most healing, bright, colorful places I ever stayed was Children’s Hospital in Madison, WI. One of my biggest take aways from being there for 7 months as an 18 year old, as well as being there for months when I was younger, was that adults deserve that too.

@@MisschiefsCat yup ive stayed in the same kinda place too (the childrens hosptal) i was admitted to there mental health unit i could take a million pictures of that place and youd bareley know it was a hospital appart from the hospital style doors and windows and a old nurses station that now was a chillout zone with beanbags and games consoles the hallways where carpeted the walls painted a respectfull yellow no cheesy childrens paint but not bland white either our rooms where our own every wall had notice boards on it to cover with whatever we wanted the beds where the same beds youd find in a typical home wood frame real matress granted hospital sheets but you could bring your own bedding if you wanted ok granted it had a sink in there too but odly kinda handy being able to washup brush teeth and get yourself ready in your room it felt like we was all just hanging out at some trendy hotel for kids the staff all wore regular street clothes we wore our normal clothes we ate together at a dining table had a lounge with sofas to watch movies on in the evening it was great we knew we was in hospital we knew why we was there but we still felt like normal kids my moms hospice was like this albeit more adult but i know there not all like that

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

I too worked in a retirement home and you're absolutely right. Even the food I was forced to give them just crushed my soul. Me and the other staff did do our best to show the family the food and luckily they did a good job bringing them something good. Sadly not everyone had such family members.

[@antares8476]

"I'm temporary" 🤣 Sooo cute

[@Breezely22]

Hospice can actually be an amazing resource. My mom was able to rest before she passed. It was a beautiful facility with private rooms, big windows to a garden, and food for the families, a new soup made of from scratch everyday, calming colors, lovely staff. It didn't feel like a hospital. And I'm very thankful for them.

[@thatonedog819]

I agree, but it seems like this hospice was severely over burdened and they were unable to give that sort of care. But I think they were trying as hard as possible

[@KingSteven26]

As Gordon Ramsey once said "Soup of the day means Soup of the day!" As a chef myself I can confirm that soups usually get better the next day, but thats no excuse not to prepare a fresh soup every day, for the next day, especially for dying guests... And YES hospital food sucks kinda all over the world, wich wont help wellbeing or recovery at all.

You'd be surprised at what people would do for money, my guy. Especially people with a lot of money.

[@ItsAllAboutPerspective375]

I was in a type of pediatric hospice when I was younger, though I obviously recovered. I'm still here fighting my disease to this day. I'm in the hospital for it right now actually. Lol But although the situation is "brighter" at the pedi hospice, literally, the weight felt there was something else, for obvious reasons. We all knew we were there to die except for the really little ones, and even some of them just knew the truth even though none of us ever told them. It was a look in the eyes, thats how you knew. But without speaking about it, we all agreed not to.

[@AmberPatterson-x7v]

[@mcnoneya]

Palliative care and Hospice are different. Palliative care is comfort care. Hospice is, no more treatment,”if I get sick, no treatment, let the cold or pneumonia or whatever it is, do it’s thing and let me go” I know because I’m in palliative care.

[@kiara198923]

Hi there Mary. If you don't mind me asking what are you in palliative care for? How long? I have sickle cell disease and I've heard of palliative care from a few others with the same disease I have but I still don't understand what it is exactly. I just got out of the hospital yesterday. I was admitted on Wednesday because of a sickle cell crisis & I needed a blood transfusion. I'm still at a 7 on the pain scale but since I refilled my pain pills I let the hospitalist know that I wanted to go home because I have a lot of assignments, projects, & exams to do if I plan to finish the medical billing and coding program I'm in by October 30th. Sorry my comment is so long. Your comment caught my attention so I had to say something.

[@hardtogetnamehere]

I’m a hospice nurse. We do not just not treat our patients. We provide comfort care, and that includes treating infections. Skin infections, UTI, PNA, we provide wound care in attempts to heal wounds, eye infections, ear infections, I even sent a patient to the hospital for drain placement for ascites. Saying hospice just lets them die of treatable infections is plain wrong of you.

[@mystiqua3107]

To my understanding, hospice care and palliative care can be provided simultaneously since palliative is offered at any stage of the disease and hospice is provided for near end-of-life stages or at the final stages of an incurable disease. So either way, you provide compassionate care.

[@hardtogetnamehere]

@@mystiqua3107 we don’t do palliative care and hospice care together. Palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management during active treatment to cure the underlying disease. Hospice is when treatment is no longer an option. We focus on comfort and symptom management while you are dying. Along with family support and guidance. It’s a troubling time for families, they need as much support as the patient.

[@hardtogetnamehere]

“I know because I’m in palliative care”. You must be an aid. Only an aid, who has minimal training, would say something this ridiculous. There is no way a doctor or nurse would make such a blatantly inflammatory statement.
