That's not due to hospice. That's due to being ripped out of a safe and known environment by a family determined to ignore her. In the face of that, why live? Hospice can be administered at home. And a group home is not hospice; it is a formula for being forgotten. Don't confuse hospice (a plenitude of attention) with being shuffled off somewhere (a dearth of attention).
My wife has seen worse. An aging woman of considerable means living well in a rather palatial house full of good memories and natural beauty outside. But a family eager to acquire and sell the property almost literally pushed the mother out of the house into a group care facility. The ghoulish and predatory behavior of families toward their elderly parents are an inspiration to give up the ghost.
