When to seek Hospice care

[oldmoor]

My sister is getting much weaker now. At what point should we seek Hospice assistance. She was diagnosed 2 years ago, uses a bipap,but has chosen not to get a feeding tube. Her doctors told us in June that she may have 6 months left, but everyone is different.If she gets Hospice, can she change her mind about feeding tube? a ventilator? How are other PALS's experiences with Hospice. Just what can they add to her care and well being.Thanks for your help. Mary
