Client & Colleague Reflections

I can say with confidence that I would ask Dara Downs to walk alongside my family in our time of need...

With over 11 years of specialized experience, caring for patients and families with serious illness, Dara has dedicated her professional life to unraveling the complexities of navigating serious illness and medical systems, clarifying options and resources, and helping people understand what to expect so they can prepare for the future with hope.

 

Her naturally peaceful presence and zest for life puts people at ease and helps them focus on what is most important to them so they can retain their joy for life.

 

Having worked directly beside her for the past two years, I can say with confidence that I would ask Dara Downs to walk alongside my family in our time of need.

Services

Individual Conversation

Understand and share your story. The goal of this is to connect, and learn about the situation and what is needed next.

 

We might make collaborative decisions together on this call, or we might strategize how to talk with others if more is needed.

 

This is also the time when we have the opportunity to better understand palliative care, hospice care, and the journey between them both.

Family Conversations

If you are working with your loved one and the sole decision maker, we will devise the strategy to how we will address your loved one's needs.

 

If there are more folks involved, such as family members who have differing views, we will take this time to strategize or have that conversation.

 

I will help facilitate deeper understandings of the protocols, ethics, and morals. This conversation is held with absolute compassion for all involved.

 

The goal is consensus, so we can move forward with a protocol that respects the quality of life for the patient, and the needs of the family.
