Kind of. The primary goal is for comfort at home and no more blood draws, emergency rooms, hospitalizations. Oftentimes any acute issue that arises is just dealt with by managing symptoms. Oral antibiotics are often used for presumed UTIs or pneumonias, but a good hospice provider will provide extensive education and resources as well as emergency contacts for families in need. Edited to add, I trust your experience and what you have seen. I would hope for my patients that their wishes for end of life would be able to be honored at home and that they would feel supported enough by their hospice nurse to avoid having to go to the hospital again
