2 weeks ago my boss/owner admitted a hospice patient.(Dr. said person had 2-3 months to live.)Current room rate $3k/month with a $2k entry fee. (no-refund, no pro-rate)My boss promised my co-worker and I a raise when the person was admitted. The person died 3 days later, the family asked for a refund, the family was told the facility had a no refund policy, 6 days later my co-worker and I recieved our paychecks, guess what....no raise!, when asked about our raise our boss said, said she did not agree to a raise, only as long as the patient was alive we would recieve $10 extra a day. PS....she did not include the extra $10/day in our check, we had to wait until the next payday.

Ah yes, the hospice: the "caring, sharing place to be"...ah, er, the place to die! - I work in a posh "Living Center" which is a euphemism for a posh Dying Center. You've got it all: Sympathy; Deep-Pile Carpeting, Gourmet Cuisine, the works. - But with all the up-front money down, there's a dirty little curtain that seperates patients and their families from the rotten daily truths of disparate, slip-shod treatment and cosmetic "therapeutic care". - Believe me, you REALLY think about your own death and the deaths of those you love when you go into the BIG BUSINESS of geriatric medicine. - And just forget about it folks if you don't have $$$ or family support! - Give me the Hemlock Society!
