Many seniors go directly from the hospital to Hospice Care after a serious fall, aneurysm or stroke. In this case, the hospital may make a recommendation for a Hospice care provider (that pays the hospital for customers) and most family are too grief stricken to look for other options. If a senior has a slowly degrading medical condition, the family has more time to find a New York Hospice Care center that will make a difference. Either way, this time is very stressful.
