Hospice is right. They need to deal with the behaviors they see in your mother, and knowing what "stage" this is would not change anything.

She is on hospice. She is in the final stage of her disease. She will probably die within the next few months (although no one can predict that exactly). Giving a number to the "stage" just isn't relevant.
