Description
What’s the Difference Between Hospice, Home Care, and End of Life Doula?
- End of Life Doulas are specially trained and certified non-medical health care professionals. They are trained in all three phases of end of life care. Based on extensive training, doulas offer suggestions for comfort to you and your family. They provide support during all phases of care. They are not home health aides; rather, they are professionals who guide you and your family through the often times stressful journey. Sage assist is certified through Doulagivers.
- Hospice manages the medical care, performs clinical tasks, and dispenses medications. Hospice also trains the family on caring for their loved one.
- Family or Home Care Agency Aides perform the direct hands-on care (e.g. bathing, toileting, feeding, positioning, med reminders, etc.).
Initial Consultation (up to 60 minutes)
Our initial consultation takes place at your home or another location. This is where I determine if I can assist you and your family, whether you are comfortable with this type of care and service, and how best to move forward. I do understand that this is a very emotional time and my goal is to hold space for you, not make decisions, but rather gently offer suggestions and education. To schedule an Initial Consultation, contact me.
