Annotation | This large, long-term study of families served by hospice in the San Francisco Bay area found that nearly 95% said hospice had been helpful. Still, about 30% of family members said there was something they wish had been done differently. Those who had some complaint were more likely to be women, than those who had none. Complaints were: to report the patient had needed a great deal of care; to have a history of depression and greater levels of distress before and after the patient's death; and to be dissatisfied with the support received from family members and friends.
