A red flag appears when I hear about an ill person distrusting those whose job is to provide care and comfort. Medicine interactions, cognitive impairments related to the disease process-both See also:

See all 198 questions about Hospice of these things can make a person distrustful when there is no reason to be distrustful. Having strangers in the house can be disturbing, as well as the obvious - facing death. There is a lot to process and absorb in this situation. However, to be mindful of his wishes, I would suggest two things: 1) Tell the nurse supervisor or the clergy/counselor assigned to your husband how he is feeling. This is not an unusual occurrence, so they may be able to assist and provide some staff changes that will accommodate him. 2) If that does not work, then see if there is another Hospice that services your geographic area. Like changing doctors, or home health agencies, you do have choices, unless your area only has one Hospice available, which is the case in some rural areas, and states with Certificates of Need.
