“Hospice?” Lucas shook his head, certain he’d heard the discharge planner incorrectly. “You don’t mean like what they do for people who . . . want to die at home?”

“I meant that hospice care could be an eventual option,” the woman explained, her dark eyes meeting his. “If your grandmother doesn’t want to return to the hospital and her health continues to decline, we can arrange for nurse visits and a home health aide.”

“But she beat the pneumonia, and the therapists said it was possible she could regain some strength in her leg. At the very least, be mobile with the walker. And learn to use her left hand.” Dread tried to choke him. “She was supposed to get better.”

“We all want that, Mr. Marchal. But unless your grandmother agrees to prescribed medical interventions . . .”

“You mean the IVs and the feeding tube.” He glanced across the room. A lab technician was trying yet another vein to draw his grandmother’s blood. Her frail arms were black-and-blue. “I’ll talk with her again and try to change her mind.”

“If she’s not going to accept further treatment, we can’t keep her here. It isn’t medically warranted. The only option would be the extended care facility.”

“Nursing home,” Lucas breathed. “She won’t go for that.”

The social worker captured his gaze. “She wants to go home.”
