they told me they have nurses 24/7 then after he was on his way home she said she wouldn't have a nurse til tomorrow

Granny, the nurse that comes tomorrow will do the admission paperwork for hospice. They probably did not have an admissions RN available today. If they said 24/7 that means someone, either a nurse or aid, will be there all the time even at night. Be sure to ask the nurse tomorrow to be sure so you know the hours they will be there. When I worked hospice we did 12 hour shifts. 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. We did everything for the patient bath, bathroom, meds, feeding unless the family wanted to help with some of it. Family could just come in and sit in the room if that's what they wanted. Ask lots of questions write them down so you get the answers you need.

Looks like the type my son with Spina Bifida uses.

I texted, they answered. I called, they answered, even at 2 in the morning.

Granny, I don't think you will have to make that decision. Whoever brings him will probably decide that and get him settled.

The ambulance driver? I don’t think they know where to put him.

I thought there would be a nurse with him, apparently I was mistaken.

Good night, all.

Yeah a nurse would have been nice.
