I think hospice is a good choice for your situation. But you need to be careful here too. Not all hospice organizations are alike. Find out what care they provide and how they treat end of life issues.
If you would like other assistance, I would recommend a caregiver business that has a good reputation in the community. I was referred by one of the social workers at our hospital. The owner came out to meet Mom, assessed her needs, and hand-picked her caregiver. He also calls periodically to check up on his workers. She has received excellent service and looks forward to their visits now. They come in once every two weeks or so - it gives me a little break.
good luck...there is a never a roadmap when taking care of an ailing senior.
Hang in there.............
Experienced hospice workers know how to introduce themselves without being intrusive. Let Mom know that you are happy to help her, but you needed to see your friend also.
God Bless
