Hi Kevin, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I do think, as you and others mentioned, that it might revive your mom a bit to be home. My mom was in the hospital a number of times her last few years and got more depressed each time she had to go in, but she was fine once she got home.
Since moving my mother-in-law nearer to us, I've been subscribed to a site called ElderCareABC Blog at http://eldercareabcblog.com/. This morning it listed a link to an article titled "How To Choose a Hospice" here: http://www.healthytheory.com/how-to-choose-a-hospice I thought I'd send it along in case it might have something useful for you in it. I am praying for you both.
