I am a 46 year old mother of three adult children and grandmother to a 4 year old grandson. I currently work with individuals served by DDS and I pride myself on being a huge advocate for them. I just completed my FNP training and graduated May 2021. I hope to continue to serve the DD community in this capacity.

Palliative, Hospice Care and End-of-Life Care for DDS Supported Individuals
I wanted to make my RN-BSN capstone project meaningful to myself and the individuals I work with. After supporting four individuals and their families through end-of-life care in fairly quick succession in 2017, I identified a gap in knowledge regarding palliative and hospice care, understanding guardian and health care proxy roles, and how the MOLST form should be used appropriately for people supported by DDS. I felt that we were letting down our individuals without this knowledge and, after my literature research showed very little had been done with the DDS population and end-of-life care, I knew I had to take some action. As is my nature, I wanted to solve all of the problems immediately, but one of my professors encouraged me to take small steps that could be built on, so I decided to focus my efforts on education about palliative and hospice care, when to request these services, and helping people understand the various roles guardians and HCP's play at the end-of-life. Just with this small amount of information alone, supporting team members can assist individuals in receiving the right care at the right time, and understand what paperwork can be completed to protect them when they are no longer able to express their wishes.
