As Heather Massey explains this month’s topics: More and more people are using hospice at the end of life and doing so sooner, which can be helpful to them and their loved ones. Yet, most people who want to die at home end up dying in a facility. In this session, guided by Death Educator Heather Massey, MSW, we’ll hear from two local hospice experts who will join our Zoom class, and we will explore end-of-life documents, such as advance directives, hearing from other expert sources in the curated curriculum, through short read
Goals of the class include learning about hospice and the difference between palliative care and hospice, being able to name at least four end-of-life (EOL) documents and committing to completing one of them.
