It always make me sad and a little mad to hear about your mom's experience with Hospice, sal.

My experience with Hospice providers here in California has always been great (with my dad and with my clients).

But, I've heard and read some other horror stories too. So, it would be more accurate to say that Palliative Care is supposed to help chronically-ill patients be comfortable and have as high a quality of life as possible until they die naturally.

(Palliative Care is often associated with Hospice. But Palliative Care, unlike most Hospice Care, can be sought at any stage of a chronic illness and doesn't require the patient to be at a point where he/she no longer wants life-prolonging treatment.)
