Caring For Aging Parents Support Group
Caring for aging parents can be a difficul time as we become the caretakers for our parents. This broad responsibility can encompass such services as assisted living, adult day care, long term care, nursing homes, hospice care, and in-home care. Whether you have just started caring for your parents or just need a place to talk, we're here.
Please when you take your loved one to the hospital, be very careful. My dad's death was hastened with morphine just like described in the comments on this website (see the 2016 comments).

One day, he was fine eating soft foods, then they said he was palliative and 3 days later after morphine and no water, he was gone. He had a lung infection.
There's euthanasia happening without your consent more than you know.

Both my parents had been hospitalized. The doctor suggested that we consider hospice for mom, but he never kept us out of the loop, and he certainly did not have the right to put mom on life ending drugs. No matter what her condition was (she died about a month after discharge), if they had given her meds, without our knowledge, that caused her death we would have sued the pants off everybody.
No doctor has the right to play god like that.
Is that the case in Canada?
Not all healthcare professionals are guilty of this, but many are because they are financially rewarded for saving healthcare dollars in our hard economy.
Hospice companies know that the longer the patient lives the more money they make. And they know that word of mouth is their best advertising. So if they make it a bad experience for their patients, word gets around.
I am so very sorry for what is going on in Canada.
They called in hospice, since she was 93 and passing blood suddenly. They put her on a morphine drip and 3 days later she passed. This is in Canada. Pepper, I think they do this everywhere.
When my time comes and my life is no longer any fun I will BEG for Hospice and a comfy ending to my suffering.
The ban on PAD was lifted earlier this year in CAN but that doesn't mean that the practice is taking place; you do still have very strict laws guiding PAD and who can access it.
If I felt my one of my family members were part of a country or global conspiracy, I'd be at a law firm.
