Absolutely, you can stay home. Unlike what a lot of people believe, hospice is not a place where you “go to die” or live until you die. We don’t have people staying more than a week or so and some people never come to our in-patient unit. Most of our time with you will be spent where you live. Sometimes people come to hospice to give families time- out, to get pain and symptoms better managed and occasionally it is a place where people choose to spend their last few dying days, but it is completely your choice.
