Medicare’s hospice regulations are not working as intended for many people with dementia, says many experts of end-of-life care. The "long goodbye", the phrase Barbara Karnes describes about hospice patients with dementia, is, for the medical profession, a difficult diagnosis. About 5 percent are pulled from hospice when their condition seems to have stabilized. Plus, the number of Americans over 65 with dementia is projected to more than double to 13.8 million by 2060. Many will need hospice care.
Host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly, and producer, Sue Duffield, take great strides on this episode to discuss the hard facts and difficulties that surmount when a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia needs hospice care.
