Compassionate Ottawa and the Preparing for End of Life - Conversations with Seniors in Retirement Residences

The difficulty in acknowledging and speaking about death reflects that, in general, we live in a death denying culture, one that discourages talking about important issues including end-of-life care planning. Recent data tell us that most Seniors think it is important to talk about end-of-life care with family and friends, but less than half have actually done so. However, there are few places that Seniors can gather to discuss these issues and learn about the resources available to them. Research also tells us that when Seniors have conversations about planning for their future and end-of-life care they are more satisfied with their situation and care, are more likely to have their wishes met and they and their families suffer less anxiety.

Compassionate Ottawa aims to benefit the seniors by bringing these conversations directly to where they live, in retirement homes, and will empower them with the knowledge and skills they need to plan and live well.
