These rumors have been rampant for at least six months. There should be more to follow.

Just a word from hospice workers.... on the most part hospice nurses, chaplains, CNA's and Social Workers are in the business because they care. The work with hospice patients and their families are sincere, loving and yes... so very helpful. This is a generalized statement that covers most all hospice workers.
Many families continue to be thankful and appreciative of the workers.
Now it can be a different story when it comes to the owners. They are in buisness to make money. Making money is not a bad thing but it needs to include morals and ethics and rules. It takes a lot of extra time and money on the part of regulators to monitor the owners and make them accountable.
It does make it a hardship on the part of the workers and especially the patients and their families when someone higher up is not being honest and truthful and moral.
The owners, CEO's must be accountable. That does include where that large profit is spent.... homes, trips, porshe, limo....etc
Any comments?????

Maybe some of the nurses can answer this. But my question is, if a person is put under hospice care too soon then medicare would overpay the hospice. It seems like this might be what created the problem. I know hospice is supposed to be for the final six months care for an individual.
