End of Life Care Planning


For information and assistance on End of Life Care Planning, call (520) 790-7262.

The most inevitable part of life for each of us is that it will eventually come to an end. At PCOA, we believe that part of living well is preparing well for dying—and that’s why we provide “end of life care planning.”

Have you and your loved ones had conversations about the care you want toward the end of your life? Do you fully understand the options to consider? Have you made decisions and completed Advance Directives like a Living Will or Healthcare Powers of Attorney to document these wishes?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions and would like to learn more, PCOA can help!

  • One-on-one coaching is available by phone or in-person to help individuals understand their options, discuss wishes with important people, and formalize end of life decisions. Offered in English and Spanish.
  • Family conversation facilitation is available to assist families to understand, support, and honor their loved one’s end of life decisions. Offered in English and Spanish.
  • Community education provides group instruction about end of life care planning through engaging and interactive presentations.  Offered in English and Spanish.
  • End of life presentations are available and can be tailored to meet the end of life care planning needs of your company, place of worship, or community group.

If you would like to learn more about our end of life resources, call us at (520) 790-7262. Bilingual services are available.
