In this 2016 photo provided by Thomas Marrinson, Allison Beach holds the hand of her ailing mother Kathryne Beach inside her home in Hinesburg, Vt. Allison Beach and her husband struggled to figure out how to get help for her mother, who lived with them for three years before dying at their home Hinesburg, Vermont, in 2016. The experience led Beach, who was a nurse, to seek special training in end-of-life care and has become a doula, hoping to help others in such circumstances.
"It's a good thing. Death has become overly medicalized over the last century" and this shows a turn away from that, said the lead author, Dr. Haider Warraich of the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System. Deaths in homes rose, from 24% to 31%. Some assisted living centers may have been counted as homes; researchers had no way to tell.
Allison Beach and her husband struggled to figure out how to get help for her mother, Kathryne Beach, who lived with them for three years before dying at their home in Hinesburg, Vermont, in 2016. She had lost her vision, had suffered a fall and then succumbed to heart failure at age 91. The rise of home hospice services has helped more people spend their last days at home, Warraich said.

It’s actually something I think is wonderful. They have family near by. They can listen to music, eat what they want. I work hospice and if given a chance, I want to peacefully go in my home instead of a impersonal hospital with strangers.
The ootions available for the elderly or terminally ill are terrible. Trying to find a decent place to go after signing all your assets over should not be something you or family have to worry about at the end of your life. Heartbreaking added stress.
Who can afford to die in a hospital?
They want to be able to still OWN their home before they die...instead of signing it over to the hospital to pay for their dying there
My mother insisted the only way she was leaving her home was feet first It’s exactly what happened With loving family in and out of her room, her favorite music playing laughter and stories galore I miss her every day but no regrets it was her wish and my forever loving duty
Because hospital don't want you ! They don't want to save you , care for you , so why not go home and go on and die how you want to begin with bc that's what a hospital is going to charge you incredible amounts to do anyway !!!! It's cheaper it let them die than treat them .
Yea because nobody trying to die at the hospital burdening their families with those hospital bills
Really high medical bills? As old people can't afford them anymore even with insurance?
They use a picture like they’re making a choice. They’re dying at home cause health care is so god dam expensive
Because of insurance.
If it goes on for years?
That’s the way it should be..the elderly should NEVER be stuck into aged care and forgotten
Happy Ending!
Why saddle your family with more debt? If all parties are okay with it, I don't see anything wrong with people choosing to pass peacefully at home
That's because, thanks to obummercare, hospitals are throwing them out. Report the full story ABC! Even after major surgical procedures hospitals minimize stay to bare minimum. Depleted funds=depleted services. Comfort care is also promoted for terminal patients to die faster
Just built a 1000ft ground level in-law apartment walk-in shower easy access everything. I don't want a foreigner ignoring my parents in a group home wheeled up against the wall. Take care of your parents 👍
Maybe that's because they can't afford to go to hospitals because your system is an incredibly over-priced ripoff of a system, and in the richest country in the world too! It's a disgrace that you do not have a public health system where just about everything is free, like we do.
hospitals and nursing homes will keep you alive long enough to drain every dime you have
It's too expensive. Shameful state of affairs in this country.
Hospitals are too expensive. Homes for the elderly are not only too expensive they do not have enough caregivers. The quality of what they do have is questionable. Of course people are taking Mom or Dad home.
The way it's supposed to be...
For sure, it’s way cheaper.
good...too expensive to die at the hospital
Really uplifting.
THAT'S BECAUSE HOSPITALS ARE KICKING THEM OUT INTO THE STREET TO AVOID WORK AND HAVING TO SERVE POOR PEOPLE!!! LIKE THEY KILLED MY MOTHER!
Big Fucking DUH!!!
You really want to live in the same house grandma died in?
cause they don't have too much money to solution this problem.
Because they don't want to bankrupt their families?
THANKS FOR THE CHEERY THOUGHT
People want to die with dignity surrounded by loved ones.💕
It's too expensive to die in a hospital
😕
By choice or... Whatever, I'll just read the article.
'Clone' (information on YouTube )
Our national health insurance or lack of it is cause. Let us follow other nation folks & only die in respectable way where it may be.
This is great to me and I would want this for my mother so I knew she was looked after and got the best care she needed with out having to worry if she was getting abused or not
They can't afford to go to a hospital. When they do go, they are discharged far too early, even while still deathly ill because, you know, MONEY.
Probably cos it’s to fkn expensive Hahahaha
Because hospitals cost too much to die in
Too bad 😔
cause dying at hospitals is expensive?
who can afford the FREAKIN' Hospital? potus
THANKSOBAMA
I want to reach the end in my house, but when a person dies at home, the police inspect whether there is a case.
Just like a third world country, thank you Mr. Trump
Costs too much to give them hospital care. MedicareForAll
Mom and dad did, so much more comfortable
Cause most can't afford hospitals and hospice is the only solution
As it should be. With family and at peace.
