Services to Families of Elders in Assisted Living & Skilled Nursing
Elder Kin Companionship
When distance or busy schedules keep you away more than you’d like, I can help ensure your elder loved one is never lonely. Through dedicated, frequent visits to your elder’s assisted living residence or skilled nursing facility, I provide consistent, loving companionship—bringing joy, familiar connection, and an extra layer of watchful care.
Peace of mind for you. Richer days for your elder loved one.
Directly contracted with families:
Weekly visits of 90 minutes plus travel, 30-minute monthly family check-in: $850 monthly
Bi-weekly visits of 90 minutes plus travel, 30-minute monthly family check-in: $450 monthly
End-of-Life Doulaship
As an End-of-Life Doula, I walk shoulder-to-shoulder with your elder loved one and team of caregivers, bridging the gap between the clinical and the sacred with lighthearted conviction.
My purpose is to bring ease, even joy, so your loved one can focus on what matters most for their final journey: dignity, peace and meaning.
The three principles of my approach are:
Acceptance: Honoring our human body-mind-spirit nature in its entirety.
Discipline: Embracing growth through all cycles of life, including death.
Imagination: Seeing the wonder of our belonging to humankind and nature.
Presence: The gift of human contact. I hold space and provide a steady, grounded presence at the bedside, ensuring your loved one never has to walk this path alone. We arrange a regular visit schedule so that I help fill in the gaps and give relief to other caregivers.
Planning: The clarity in the confusion. I provide the tools to organize logistics, helping you and your loved one process decisions that honor their values. We walk through checklists and resources on end-of-life planning to sort through the most practical matters.
Passage: The sanctuary for the spirit. Whether through Reiki, guided meditation, or vigil planning and facilitation, I tend to the energy and atmosphere of your loved one’s space. We arrange sacred time dedicated to uplifting the spirit through this time of transition.
Portrait: The steward of your loved one’s story-telling. I help your loved one harvest wisdom, articulate what matters most, and weave a lasting record of their unique life legacy. We partner to document memories and milestones in written, audio, and visual form.
4 P’s Model™ of a Positive End-of-Life
Contracting directly with the family, I offer time-based packages without asking you to pre-determine which of the 4 P’s is needed. Presence—companionship and relieving family caregivers—serves as the core of my support. But for every visit I will show up prepared to offer whichever form of accompaniment best serves or is requested.
Tier 1 Weekly (4 hours per week): $300, Tier 1 Monthly: (15 hours per month): $1,050
Tier 2 Weekly (10 hours per week): $725, Tier 2 Monthly: (40 hours per month): $2,700
If you have an interest in my support but doubts about your ability to sustain my requested fee, please reach out so we can explore options. My desire is to serve.
