What would the cost be if you had near 100% private in home care for whatever reason in the UK?
It’s basically what they chose in this case, Medicare would’ve paid for the hospital and hospice. Even if there was a bill no one is obligated to pay it unless the estate has money for private care. In this case it’s assumed her estate doesn’t have the funds to pay for private care or rent an apartment.
Her case also seems complicated because assisted living and hospice couldn’t tend to her needs but the hospital thought a lesser facility could provide it. Bouncing her back and forth.
