Answer

Everything done by the staff would have been ordered by your mother's Attending Physician. Hospital transfers are not done "on demand" if the patient is medically unstable. The Attending would have also made the decision that end of life care would be better provided in a hospice. You'd have to have her medical chart reviewed by another doctor (a "second opinion") to determine if there was anything improper. It's not something that can be answered in this forum. Sorry for your loss.
