Frequently Asked Questions
Do EOL Coaches only work with people facing serious illness or at the end of their lives?
No, we also actively support the family and extended care circle.
In addition, we work with healthy adults who want to proactively and responsibly plan for their future to create an aging well plan.
How often do you need to see an EOL Coach?
It is up to you! Some people want to focus on the practical things, such as getting legal paperwork arrangements made, identifying other supportive professional resources, coordinating communication with the extended care circle, etc.
Others opt for multiple visits a week to talk through the constantly changing challenges of serious illness, or regularly scheduled respite care.
Can you work with an EOL Coach and Hospice?
Yes, an EOL Coach and Hospice Care both offer services centered around the transition from life to death, but they vary in significant ways.
An End-of-Life Coach can spend much more time with the patient and their family. Ideally, we become involved with the family well before an individual is referred to hospice.
An EOL Coach prioritizes comfort and quality of life by focusing on emotional, spiritual, and practical support.
Hospice workers focus on medical assessment and providing medical solutions to a terminally ill patient’s physical pain and symptoms.
