Granny's gone and done it again

they told me someone can get hospice if they a 6 month lifespan.

When I was working with hospice we had several patients that had been with the company more than a year. Hospice reevaluates the patients every 6 months. One of the patients was changed to home care after she had been on hospice 2 years.

Google does not have experience with the real world. It's best to get information from the people that work in the field, even if you have to make a lot of phone calls. Take advantage of all the services hospice provides and ask questions! If you don't know what to ask explain what you need to them. If one person doesn't know, ask who you need to talk to that will know. Being scared is OK it just means you know you need help and are willing to try. All of us here are supporting you in our prayers.

A couple in their nineties are both having trouble remembering things. At a check-up the doctor says they’re physically fine but should start writing things down.
That night, while watching TV, the husband asks, “Want anything while I’m in the kitchen?”
“Get me a bowl of ice cream,” she says.
“Sure,” he replies.
“Strawberries on top, please,” she adds.
“And whipped cream — don’t forget that,” she insists. “Maybe you should write it down.”
“I don’t need to write it down — ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream, I got it!” he shouts.
Twenty minutes later he returns with a plate of bacon and eggs. She looks at the plate and asks, “So? Where’s the toast?!”
