End of Life Planning
Access to physicians and counselors dedicated to exploring, educating, and creating a personalized End of Life plan that aligns with the goals, wishes, values and needs of each patient.
People of all ages experience curiosity and anxiety about how their End of Life journey will unfold. Many people have witnessed friends and family members go through difficult and traumatizing experiences, and would very much like to have a different experience–for themselves and for those they care about.
One of our most valuable services is an End of Life Planning Session. In each session, our physicians and counselors explore each client’s priorities, wishes, concerns and resources to support and educate them on the best ways to protect themselves from unwanted or futile care; facilitate the conversations that need to take place with loved ones; identify the critical actions that need to be taken to support their wishes, including providing the forms that need to be completed to ensure their wishes are honored.
Starting these conversations help to avoid a crisis in the most crucial times. Those who have gone through this enlightening and informative process have experienced greater peace of mind and lower stress as they focus on the joys of living, rather than the fears about dying.

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.
