Hi just looking for a bit of advice, my best friend was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done. She was in hospital but was moved to a hospice 3 weeks ago, she has been so calm throughout this whole diagnosis and for someone who suffers with bipolar she’s been amazing. Her weight loss is very evident now she’s not eaten properly for about 7 weeks, she’s sipping on fluids but only about 2-3 cup full a day at most. She’s obviously completely bedbound and now sadly it’s just a waiting game. On diagnosis the doctor said it’s just a matter of weeks. Last week the hospice started asking her to go into a nursing home, this has caused her so much distress to the point that she has now been given anti anxiety tablets as it’s affected her that much. She’s settled where she is and obviously doesn’t want to be moved. Last week one of the nurses told her that there’s 8 people waiting for her bed and for all she knows it could be one of her family! I don’t know how anyone else feels about this comment but we are all shocked about it, she’s end of life care! They are asking her every day about a nursing home and this thought is now dominating her day. My question is can they force her to go into a nursing home?
