My Mother is 95 and she almost to the point of being bedridden.She was so weak yesterday I had to lift her up out of the bed.I put on her potty chair by the bed so she could urinate.She used to be able to hold on to bed railing next to the bed.She used to be able to get up and go back to bed.She couldn't yesterday because she was too weak.She has suddenly gotten weaker in the last 5 days.She is alll skin and bones.She was 100 lbs.I think she weighs less now.This is the first time she told me and my sister that lives with her that she wants to die in her house and nowhere else.

My late husband too wanted to die at home and was under hospice care in our home for the last 22 months of his life. He was completely bedridden.
They will supply all needed equipment(including hospital bed)supplies, and medications all covered 100% under your mothers Medicare.
They will also have a nurse to check on her once a week to start and aides to come bathe her around twice a week, even if it's just a bed bath as in my husbands case.
It definitely sounds like it's time to bring them on board.
Wishing you and your mother the very best.
You need to move quickly to ensure her a safe and comfortable existence until the end.
My Mom is on at home hospice.
They come out twice a week to bathe her (in the bed) and the nurses come out to monitor her. All other care is up to me.
they will provide any medicines (mainly for pain, they stop the others) and they need a DNR order to get started. If she needs a lift, diapers, or a hospital bed, etc. they will be provided free of charge.
They also provide a social worker and clergy. Plus 24 hour emergency access for any changes.
