Life Care Planning
Important decisions that lead to documents that convey your wishes when you are unable.
Power Of Attorney
A person you designate to make legal decisions for you in the event you become unable to. A Healthcare power of attorney and power of attorney are not always the same person.
Healthcare Power Of Attorney
The person you designate to make healthcare decisions for you in the event you are unable to. A Healthcare power of attorney is not always the power of attorney.
Living Will
A document that tells the people making healthcare decisions for you what you do or don’t want done to you when you can’t speak for yourself.
Wills & Trust
Wills and trusts are legal documents that provide directions for your material possessions. These documents do not address your healthcare wishes.
Funeral Arrangements
Completing this task can be a difficult step but one that makes sure your final wishes are observed. We can help you!
Speak With Your Family
Open communication is a necessary step in these hard times. Be sure your family and close friends know your wishes.

Grief is a difficult emotion to deal with; we discuss the stages of grief and methods to find comfort in these trying times. Let us help!
Seeking Closure
We help you seek answers to all of your questions regarding life and the life of your loved one.
The inevitable move to the next chapter in life.
Our support group discusses life after the loss of a loved one and helps you transition to the next chapter of life in their memory.
