My mom was 96 years old, she felt and broke a hip. After surgery at Kaiser, everything went well and was sent to a rehabilitation home for two weeks.

She was fine getting better from the surgery, eating and drinking liquids. When she was going to be send home, the Kaiser Doctor recommended us the Vitaโ€™s program Hospice, since it was hard to change her and move her around, we accepted the program. Which was a big mistake, they automatically changed her medication and told us to give her to eat anything she wanted to, my mom was a diabetic for over 40 years and she always took care of her diet, so we didnโ€™t pay attention to the nurse and continue giving her regular medications. But Vitaโ€s prescribed some strong medication for the hip pain, my mom was ok until we started giving her that medication, she started to have anxiety attackโ€™s and the Vitaโ€™s nurse told us that she needed morphineโ€ after taking that medication which the nurse told us was the amount they give to small child, she started sleeping a lot and not eating, that was on a Thursday, then the nurse told my brother to give her the morphine every two hours, when I saw her the next day on Friday, she was moving a lot with anxiety attackโ€™s and I told the nurse that if it was better to take her to Kaiser to check her and she said; no if you do that we have to take her off the program and no longer help you.

The next 3 days my mom was on oxygen, breathing very hard, getting morphine every two hours and not eating drinking or talking for the rest of her life, she died five days later after getting the morphine. She was fine, the only thing she needed was small doses of pain medication for the hip surgery. In my opinion Vitaโ€™s speeded up her death.

I will not recommend it to anyone. Belina
