End of Life - Caring for a Dying Parent or Loved One

"Time and kindness are sometimes more important and humane at these late stages of life than state of the art medical interventions."

-Dr . Dennis McCullough, M.D.

Dying is both a fact of life and a deep mystery. When facing end-of-life, persons who are dying need to know that those who care for them will honor their wishes and maintain their dignity when they have little or no control over their situation. 

Planning ahead by accepting that death will come is very important; but often difficult to talk about.  We can assist in helping you discuss this stage of life and avoid waiting until you are forced by circumstance to tackle all the details of a loved one’s final passing.

Our care management offers holistic support services when your family member is facing end of life. 

They include:

• Hospice consultation
• Family mediation
• Health Care Instruments: Pre-hospital DNR’s
• Advanced Directives: Living Wills, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, and POLST (Physicians Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment)
• Bereavement support and guidance in dealing with loss
• Music therapy
