My question is more: it appears they have done all the right things with him, so in that condition, is it reasonable to expect there's no real pain?

But he is at a nursing home with additional hospice services.

I would expect that he is being medicated and likely has very generous orders for medications to help with anxiety, pain, work of breathing, and the like.

I would also be inclined to think that your loved one is being well cared for in this stage of dying- unless your family members who are near tell you otherwise.

Hospice is a very good for end of life care.
