Here is the second part of a series of blogs written by Linda Abbit founder of Tender Loving Eldercare.  Linda shares with us her family’s experiences with dealing with end-of-life issues and hospice care.

Hospice provided another entire layer of care for my dad.  There was a wonderful RN who would visit and examine him thoroughly two or three times a week.  A home health aide came every other day to bathe, shave and attend to any personal care he needed.  This was above and beyond the regular caregivers’ daily assistance in the board and care.  The RN would call me with periodic reports by phone about my dad’s condition and I was able to reach her (or her supervisor) whenever I had questions or concerns. There was also a detailed log book about my Dad recording every statistic about his health condition and medicines, contact information, and a detailed report for every visit made by each hospice team member.
