I don't understand that. If she experienced that while in hospice care they would have taken care of her--either fixed whatever temporary blip caused her to be "violently ill" or drugged her enough to relieve pain and comforted her until she died. Here, hospice programs are not run in a medical facility, they are in-home care. She was still able to get around, cook for herself, etc., so assisted living was the right place for her. Had she been on hospice treatment, she would have been treated in her own home. But due to the ice storm, her "home" (the assisted living facility) had no electrcity or heat. It really was a horrid circumstance for anyone to be caught in. But "hospice" implied "your dying" and there would never, ever have been an acknowledgement of that. You sound as though you know exactly what I mean...
