The Conversation Project

Hospice & Palliative · District of Columbia · Free

Free Conversation Starter Kit to help families discuss wishes for end-of-life care. For families weighing end-of-life care, comfort care, or quality-of-life-focused treatment alongside curative care. Inpatient hospice facilities (some standalone, some in nursing homes) offer 24/7 care when symptoms can't be managed at home. The CAPC palliative care directory lists hospital-based teams; most major medical centers now have one. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
