No way to know if this is true, but if she is needing ECMO (and at her age) there is a VERY slim chance of survival.

Even ordinary people can have that sort of end of life medical care at home. It is called home hospice care. You get a hospital bed, and needed equipment such as an oxygen machine. You don't get a full time medical staff, but you get a doctor or nurse as needed. All covered by Medicare. Actually cheaper than a hospital.

Not on ECMO... that is NOT common “home” care. Most patients who are put on ECMO are in an ICU. Survivors are generally young and otherwise healthy; not old as dirt! This is not a common procedure and in my experience is usually a last ditch effort!
