I'm very sorry for your loved one's situation. You should contact your doctor. To be in hospice care, particularly if the care needs to be covered by Medicare, the patient needs to be certified by a doctor. Generally, that means that the patient has a terminal illness and can't be reasonably expected to live (within a certain period of time).
