Most families don't realize they have a choice when it comes to hospice, and that lack of knowledge can cost them dearly during one of the hardest moments of their lives.
You are allowed to interview hospice agencies. You are allowed to ask hard questions. You are allowed to switch providers if the care isn't right. And you are allowed to trust your gut.
In my latest blog post, I'm breaking down exactly what to ask before you choose a hospice, how to look up their track record, and what to do if something goes wrong. Link in the comments.
Your person deserves care that actually shows up. Both literally and emotionally.

I'm hosting my death planning workshop virtually on the 18th. (and in person in Columbus on the 22nd!) This workshop for anyone at any age, and is about giving yourself permission to talk about what matters: your values, your comfort, your legacy, before someone else has to guess.
During our 90 minutes together I invite you to slow down, reflect, and put your end-of-life wishes into words. Together, we’ll explore the practical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of death planning. From medical directives and legacy letters to the rituals and comforts that matter most to you.
