End-of-Life Doula 

​Program Development

The End of Life Doula Program is a premium service that provides the following:
  • Care for your high need patients and families.• Support for those with high bereavement risks.
  • Help meeting your volunteer hours.
  • An excellent resource for pre-hospice community support.
  • An excellent source of hospice referrals - if used as palliative companions in the pre-hospice time period.
  • ​Bridge that awkward transition (for many people) from the pre to post death time period when many feel abandoned by hospice.
Together we will create a program that will increase the ability of your organization to properly care for your clients and patients. It will add to your volunteer hours, increase family satisfaction, establish you as an innovator leader in your local community, and enhance key relationships in your community. 
The End-of-Life Doula within hospice may serve several functions. We will determine what is of highest importance to your business in particular. Here are some examples of the tasks they can do:
  • Provide companion services to your highest need families.
  • Provide continuity of care from entry to hospice service through early bereavement.
  • Provide vigil services and 11th hour care.
  • Help with legacy projects.
  • Help with bereavement support programs.
We are here to help you develop your first End-of-Life Doula Program, enhance your established volunteer or doula program, and facilitate your quarterly and yearly educational/retreat needs for your staff and volunteer doulas.
