A Personalized Alternative to Traditional Hospice Care
Perhaps a present residence or living situation cannot easily accommodate a person’s new and changing needs. A nursing home, a hospital, or a series of well-meaning but unmanaged people in and out of one’s home is not a scenario many mindful people might imagine for themselves in their final weeks as he or she must prepare for their death.
I understand that history, culture, temperament, personal beliefs, and lifestyle are all components of a life, and that each person and his or her family is individual.
There is an increasing number of people who don’t want to be denied a good death when the time is imminent. I believe that everyone deserves the best death possible as they determine that to be. My goal is to help make that a reality for those on my path by providing personalized, private end of life hospice care and support at my home in Concord, Vermont.

While a student of Gerontology and nursing at UVM in the early 90s, I worked for the MCHV on the physical Rehab Unit. I was privy to amazing and diverse people making the difficult decision to go forward with their lives in spite of sudden and chaotic circumstances.
In 1997 I began a private Case Managing business called Surrogate Son and private Hospice Care management. I compiled a small assortment of mindful and involved older clients whom I assisted with their individual needs and goals. I continued regularly supporting them through their life changes and until the ends of their lives providing personally tailored care and consultation to both clients and families.
