LP>I think you're right.  Does each state have a home hospice program?
I believe so, although I'm not certain.  I know there was one in
Michigan where my mother died.  And there is one here.  There are some
really nice thing about the home hospice program.  They not only send
out nurses to help with some of the routine care of the patients.  They
have volunteers who get involved with the family.  They have counselors
on call.  They run grieving groups for family members following the
death. And they stay in touch with the family for one year following the
death of the loved one.
