Stop wasting fuel. You do not need to boil water for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, double for high altitude, whatever else youâve heard, etc. If you have a thermometer, you donât even have to wait until the water begins to boil for safe drinking waterâ¦.
How long you can get hospice care. Hospice care is for people with a life expectancy of 6 months or less (if the illness runs its normal course). If you live longer than 6 months, you can still get hospice care, as long as the hospice medical director or other hospice doctor recertifies that youâre terminally ill. 1  You can get hospice care for two 90-day benefit periods, followed by an unlimited number of 60-day benefit periods.
Hospice care is for a terminally ill person who's expected to have six months or less to live. This doesn't mean that hospice care will be provided only for six months, however. Hospice care can be provided for as long as the person's doctor and hospice care team certify that the condition remains life-limiting. Hospice care isn't just for people who have cancer.
