Hey, I went through something similar with my mom last year. We were also in PA, and yeah — it was her doctor who first brought up hospice, but honestly, we had no clue what that really meant. What helped was talking directly with a hospice provider who explained what qualifies someone for care — like if the prognosis is six months or less and the focus is on quality of life.
