Hi Sue, I haven’t replied to any post before so I am very new to this, sorry to hear about your father, my father inlaw passed away with prostate December 2016 after a long battle over many years. We were offered a bed at a local hospice when things got too difficult to manage, I went through the GP, I did have to be pro active to ensure things got organised.. Hospice staff are amazing and know how to beat care for people in the late stages.. I hope this helps
