While some hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities provide hospice care onsite, in most cases hospice is provided in the patient’s own home. This enables you to spend your final days in a familiar, comfortable environment, surrounded by your loved ones who can focus more fully on you with the support of hospice staff. Everyone works together with the person who is dying, the caregiver, and/or the family to provide the medical, emotional, and spiritual support needed. A member of the hospice team visits regularly and is always available by phone—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

comedy, the genre it most solidly nails is the one that poses the burning question “Why did so many accomplished actors sign on to this?” On the page, the screenplay by Amanda Idoko (The Goldbergs) might have been alluring with its skewed slant on our media- centric culture. But in the finished product, the jabs hardly feel fresh and don’t quite land. This is a tale that revolves around self- promotion and the quest for those 15 minutes of fame, and yet social media doesn’t even get a mention. That might not be a hitch if the movie spun a truly seductive web of crazy. But the narrative insanity, while studded with a few well-placed zingers, mostly feels strained, shuttling between the preposterous, the barbed and the halfhearted. Janney’s nuanced performance never falters, though. Her Sue Buttons, a middle- aged suburbanite, becomes the unlikely engine of a comedy of errors whose repercussions are ghastly. Everything about Sue is polite, from her beige nail polish to her forbearance with the rude people she encounters in the course of her day. As Breaking News opens, affirmations are her soundtrack and she knows she needs to break out of her unwanted cloak of invisibility. The turning point is her birthday, a day that goes unnoticed not just at the call center where she works but also at home. Fueled with the power of “I matter,” she catches her cad of a husband, banker Karl (Matthew Modine), in flagrante with his mistress (Bridget Everett). The confrontation ends badly — and permanently — for Karl, whose heart gives out. In the movie’s first dose of full-strength “huh?,” Sue buries the evidence. Widowhood might bestow a certain amount of attention, but Sue is hungry for something bigger, the kind of focus that
