In-Home Geriatric Care
Personalized support, advocacy, coordination of care, and companionship from the comfort of your home to help you and your loved ones navigate the complexities of aging.
Geriatric care is specialized medical care for people living with the changing landscape of health and wellbeing as they age. We are committed to serving our patients and families at the highest level, and are passionate about finding creative solutions to fulfill our patient’s goals and honor their life and values while reducing the stress and overwhelm of the family members supporting them.
Quality-of-life depends on care that honors your goals, values and wishes, and supports your loved ones as they support you. Changes in health conditions related to aging can lead to endless cycles of doctor visits for testing and treatments, hospitalizations and more. Given the option, many people prefer to receive the medical care and coordination they need from the comfort of their homes, ensuring support for their loved ones as well.
Empowered Endings’ compassionate specialists provide high-tough, comprehensive, in-home geriatric care that dramatically improves quality-of-life for patients and reduces the burden for families, allowing you and your loved ones to feel heard, held, and whole throughout the journey.

Bob and Elizabeth are just very gentle souls. There was no pressure and shared with my wife Rachel and I the many options you have to consider. It felt just like someone putting their arms around you.
For us as a family, Bob and Elizabeth gave us the tranquility and support that we needed at that moment. It made a total difference in the way my Dad passed away. It allowed me to be the daughter and not a nurse.
