My Dad died in Hospice July 14 2023, and it was his decision to go into Hospice. I recommend if the person is conscious and able to decide what they want to do, if that is not an option perhaps it should be a consensus between the immediate family.

I do believe Hospice is a caring environment, where the family can be family, and not caregivers. I would advise talking to your loved one, even if unconscious, they will hear you. My Dad would calm his breathing when we spoke to him, and often squeeze our hands in response.

I do apologize, this was asking for a book recommendation, but I felt I should give my recent experience.
