With my dad dying from a long battle with prostate...

With my dad dying from a long battle with prostate cancer my sister and I were really hoping for help from St. Joseph Hospice and we really got very little, very disappointing. It took several days to get his care pack with all the drugs to help manage his pain, nausea and anxiety. We never got a urinal, we never got help knowing how to take care of him, how to change bedding, how to get pads on him, etc. They never bathed him. In 4 weeks his care nurse only visited twice after being told to expect 2-3 visits per week. After he passed it took two days for them to pick up their equipment after we were told it would happen the day he passed. There are many options for hospice care, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
