When Mr. M was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (group of cancers of the blood and marrow), Mrs. M thought she would be able to care for him at home until he passed away. After many weeks of trying to care for him, Mrs. M was exhausted. The primary nurse suggested that Mrs. M take the opportunity to have respite care provided for him in our Hospice house. Mrs. M. got the rest she needed, and was able to bring Mr. M home where he passed away several weeks later. Without the rest, Mrs. M. would not have been able to honor his wishes to pass at home.-Hospice Nurse
