You can't "make" anyone do anything. Have you tried sitting him out on a comode. Bedpans are pretty archaic and very difficult to use especially for the elderly who can not balance well.

Yakkeybarb, if he does not eat, he will not be able to poop. What comes out is only produced from what goes in. Hospice is fully covered by Medicare. Call them in the morning.
