Direct Hospice & Palliative Care

Dr. Chatburn provides compassionate, personalized, in-home end-of-life care directly to patients and their communities, ensuring comfort, dignity, and support in the intimacy and comfort of your own home.

She encourages patients and families to seek the care of a traditional hospice through Medicare or other similar insurance benefits. For desired interventions and visits that aren’t covered by the interdisciplinary hospice team at the time desired, Dr. Chatburn can offer an additional layer of support as an outside consultant.

Chatburn Companioning offers a range of telehealth and in-person services, including prognostic evaluation, clinical consultation, symptom management, goals of care conference facilitation, ethics conflict mediation, and grief integration for patients and their intimate communities related to terminal or life-threatening illness. Additionally, we offer in-home physician accompaniment for patients and loved ones during the last hours of life.

What is direct Hospice and Palliative Care?

  • Telehealth

    Telehealth is a great option for exploring compatibility and fit through an initial informational consultation. Goals of care counseling, family coaching and counseling, care conference facilitation, and conflict mediation are all options for Telehealth services for patients and families facing a serious or life threatening condition.

  • Home Visits

    When it comes to personalized medicine, there’s nothing more authentic than being in your own ecosystem. Whether desiring a visit for a prognostic medical evaluation, in-person goals of care conversations, pain and symptom management interventions, or for accompaniment in the last hours of life, a home visit may be the most fitting option for your care.

  • Support for Your Community

    Serious illness doesn’t just affect patients as an individual. We are interdependent beings, living in communities family and friends, often family of choice. As a certified interfaith spiritual director and healthcare ethicist, Dr. Chatburn offers visit options designed to support your community.
