Navigating Healthcare in the Late Stages of Life with Dr. Kaishauna Guidry

Cheer Home Care recently hosted a Lunch and Learn event featuring Dr. Kaishauna Guidry, founder of Mourning Dove Medical. Dr. Guidry, an experienced mobile concierge physician, is passionate about advocating for individuals and families as they navigate the complexities of healthcare during the late stages of life, especially during hospice or palliative care.

During the session, Dr. Guidry shared her insights on maintaining a continuum of care, emphasizing the importance of avoiding crises through early planning and education. Her unique perspective as a hospice medical director and mobile physician has allowed her to support families in making critical healthcare decisions. She addressed key aspects of late-stage healthcare, including Advance Care Planning (ACP), capacity evaluations, and aligning family goals through physician-led meetings.

Our team and attendees engaged in an open discussion in which Dr. Guidry answered questions about the right time for hospice care, indicators of clinical decline, and the emotional challenges families faced during this period. Her mission to educate and empower resonated with our team, leaving us with valuable resources to take proactive steps in our client’s healthcare and home care journey!
