Sounds like you are getting all the hospice help you can...hang onto it, if it's not worth it now, it will be and losing hospice is a big deal.

The VA will help you a lot, especially if the beneficiary served during war time. I have been deeply impressed with the VA services, but you gotta know the right person to talk to in your community that coordinates those services. Keep asking for this person's contact info if you're not getting enough help.
