With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Solace End-of-Life advocates help families create comprehensive advance care plans that go beyond basic legal documents. Your advocate facilitates meaningful conversations about goals and preferences, ensuring your loved one's wishes are documented clearly and completely. They review existing advance directives for gaps or outdated information, and coordinate with healthcare providers to incorporate these instructions into medical records across all care settings. This thorough approach gives families confidence that treatment decisions will align with their loved one's authentic wishes, even when they cannot speak for themselves.
When curative treatments are no longer effective, families face difficult decisions about comfort care options. Solace advocates explain the differences between palliative care and hospice, helping you understand which services best match your loved one's current needs. They identify high-quality providers covered by insurance and facilitate timely referrals before symptoms become unmanageable. Your advocate ensures the care team understands your loved one's specific comfort priorities, monitors service delivery, and helps adjust the care plan as needs change. This personalized guidance allows families to focus on meaningful time together rather than struggling with healthcare logistics.
End-of-life journeys often include unexpected hospitalizations or emergency situations where crucial decisions must be made quickly. Solace advocates serve as a steady presence during these crises, helping families understand treatment options and their implications. They ensure medical teams have access to advance directives and can explain your loved one's condition in terms you can understand. When difficult decisions arise about interventions like ventilation or artificial nutrition, your advocate helps clarify the benefits and burdens of each option in the context of your loved one's overall situation and stated wishes. This informed guidance prevents regrets about either overtreatment or undertreatment during vulnerable moments.
Beyond emotional and medical support, Solace advocates help families handle the practical responsibilities that accompany end-of-life care. They assist with organizing important documents, coordinate communication with insurance providers about hospice benefits, and connect families with resources for grief support and funeral planning. Your advocate can help arrange for necessary equipment in the home, ensure caregivers receive proper training for symptom management, and address family concerns about pain control or comfort measures. By shouldering these logistical burdens, advocates allow family members to be fully present with their loved one during precious final days, focusing on connection rather than coordination.
