‘Death Doulas’ Serve Dying Patients at Home, in Hospice | AARP
“Where you’re going to find the end-of-life doulas the most will be in individuals’ homes. They’re filling gaps that the hospice service can’t provide or the family can’t provide,” says Douglas Simpson, executive director, International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA).
INELDA executive director Douglas Simpson is featured in this AARP article about end-of-life doulas caring for people whether at home or in hospice in order to fill the gaps in care that traditional hospice roles might not have capacity to.
