Who is this service for?
Walk Me Home is built for individuals and families of serious and late-stage illness who are seeking support and guidance in navigating decisions about the future.
This could include those who are:
feeling perfectly fine despite a serious illness but want to be prepared with a plan for when health status changes
May not be ready for end-of-life services but want to understand more about when they will be needed
worried that the current treatment plan is no longer aligned with health goals but don’t know how to bring it up to your provider
wondering if you are truly understanding the full picture of prognosis
stuck in the frustrating cycle of hospital-home-rehab-repeat and uncertain if it’s helping or hurting
watching a loved one decline and feeling powerless, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn
facing fear and uncertainty in how to talk to loved ones about the future
How will this service help?
By integrating years of clinical experience with a transparent, intimate approach, meeting with Walk Me Home can help you become a more informed, more empowered advocate for yourself and your loved ones.
Planning for changing health or end-of-life care can result in:
Improved symptom management (including pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and other distressing symptoms)
Reduced fear and anxiety for both the patient and the family
Fewer physician visits or hospitalizations
Reduced unwanted or unhelpful treatments or procedures
Higher chances of remaining at home throughout decline and at the end of life
Increased services at home, including nursing, supportive care, and personal care
Comprehensive grief and bereavement support - both throughout the illness and following death
