Home wins!

I spent 8.5 hours with Dad in hospice unit yesterday. The doctor suggests Dad go into a nursing home. I did a values comparison grid about the two choices: keeping him at home scored a 91% vs a 35% for moving him to a nursing home.

I spoke with the caregivers to see if they can care for a comatose Dad. They are trained for this work.

I spoke for a long time with the chaplain.

They will probably send him home today with mostly NEW caregiving requirements.
