I am the director of volunteers for hospice in Milwaukee, and it is so heartwarming to read your words. Best wishes to you and your family.

I really enjoyed your article. As you know, I am also facing this with my Dad. I am going to the UAB Center for Palliative Care Benefit in Birmingham in two weeks to provide support. I have learned that palliative care an hospice are two different things and hopefully can encourage my dad to go to this center when he is most uncomfortable. A good resource to understand the difference between the two is:

I have been one of those family memebers that have had the great fortune to be treated to Cato’s wonderful food.
My stomach is growling just thinking about it!

Thank you for posting such a beautiful piece about the wonderful facility that helped our family through such a tough time.
I would like to add that Hospice Atlanta also allows family to stay 24/7 and will allow pets (as long as proof can be provided that they have had their recent shots and that they will not cause any undue stress to other patients).
They truly went above and beyond in their care of Daddy and our family as we stayed with him until the end.
Love,
Susan
