What kinds of care should hospice be providing?

My husband was very cooperative, and never turned an offer of care down. The nurse always asked if there any problems. He wasn't too comfortable in bed. She had a mattress pad delivered that day. He was bothered by drooling. She brought in a patch for behind his ear that helped that a lot. He was having abdominal pain. She checked him over, went out to her car, brought in a sterile catheter and put it in. He got immediate relief.

I did the primary caregiving, but the nurse and aid were a very helpful and worthwhile addition.

If she does not want the care the hospice workers, by law, are not to provide it.
