Personalized Care Plans

End-of-life doulas are trained to provide compassionate, non-medical support to individuals and their families during the dying process. This includes active listening, open communication, and creating a safe space for residents to express their fears, hopes, and wishes. Our work leads to:

  • Enhanced quality of life and comprehensive emotional support to address not only the physical needs of the dying person but also their emotional and spiritual well-being, ensuring a holistic approach to end-of-life care.

  • Reduced family burden by providing a source of stability and guidance, allowing families to focus on their relationships rather than logistical or emotional burdens; while providing continuity of care, especially during the sensitive and vulnerable time at the end of life.

Facilitation of Legacy Work

  • Doulas can aid in legacy projects, such as creating memory keepsakes, recording life stories, or facilitating meaningful conversations. These activities provide a sense of closure and leave a lasting impact on the resident's loved ones.

Education and Guidance

  • Doulas are knowledgeable about the dying process, offering education and guidance to both residents and their families. This includes information about the physical changes that occur, emotional support techniques, and available resources. Empowered decision-making about their end-of-life care, ensuring that the individual has agency over their own journey.

Complementing Existing Services

  • End-of-life doulas work collaboratively with medical professionals, hospice teams, and other care providers to ensure a well-rounded approach to care. They fill a unique role that focuses on emotional and spiritual well-being.
