    No you don't usually have to pay if you go to a hospice. My father spent two weeks at our local hospice, he had excellent care from the dedicated staff and all meals and medication provided, it cost him nothing. He decided he would like to die at home so they made provision for him to return home for the last week of his life, with a nurse calling in twice a day.  The patient or their family can make a voluntary donation if they wish but it is not expected. I was so impressed by their work that I now support them on a regular basis.  Kim
