Spouse has dementia, he now finds it hard to find words. Mostly uses porta potty with help. Walks with help and walker. Advice?

What is your question? Are you questioning whether to get him on hospice? With all these issues, comfort care should be the primary focus I'd think. If I had to make such a call, I think I'd go with comfort care because just dementia alone is incurable and diminishes quality of life dramatically as it progresses.

Wishing you the best of luck with a difficult situation

You can check with the Hospice doctor whether he can still be on antibiotic and blood thinner. I don't see why he shouldn't be.

If he qualifies for hospice care, they should keep him on his blood thinner. As far as the antibiotic, I'm not sure they would keep him on it 24/7, but would definitely prescribe it for him as needed. You would have to ask the hospice Dr or nurse practitioner those questions.

Now if you're thinking of putting him on hospice, because you think they will give you some much needed help at home, you will be disappointed. as hospice will only send a nurse out once a week(for about a half hour) , to check his vitals, and an aide to bathe him a couple time a week as well. So 99.9% of his care will still be yours. Best wishes.
