My mother has untreatable cancer and dementia. She lives in an assisted living home and is under hospice care. I don’t live near her but see her four days a week. She recently became bed ridden and has basically stopped eating unless I am with her. Should I be with her 24/7 so she will eat, or is she/her body just deciding it’s time to go? I’m not sure what to?
You can’t force her to eat. Your mom has lost her appetite and so she has no desire to eat. This is a normal occurrence when a person is near the end.
Have you contacted palliative care or hospice or asked her MD for consults in those areas?
