Hospice social workers help families process difficult emotions, facilitate meaningful conversations about goals of care, and support dignity and quality of life. They connect families to community resources, assist with care planning, and help address practical concerns.

When paperwork is needed, they explain documents such as advance directives and durable power of attorney for healthcare, ensuring decisions reflect the patient’s values and wishes.

Many families come to rely on our hospice social workers as trusted guides, someone they can talk to openly about fears, family dynamics, and hopes. Their role is to ensure individuals and families feel supported throughout the hospice journey.

At Mālama Ola, we understand that time is of the essence. When a loved one’s health changes suddenly, decisions often need to be made quickly. Hospital discharges can happen fast. Critical news can feel overwhelming. In those moments, you don’t just need information. You need guidance, clarity, and compassion.

Our Patient Advocates are often the first to connect with patients and their families. They help you navigate next steps alongside your ʻohana and healthcare providers. Whether care takes place at home, in a nursing home, or another setting, our priority is honoring your loved one with comfort, dignity, and respect.

Our Patient Advocates are here to take those first steps with you, and once you’re in Mālama Ola’s care, you’ll be surrounded by a dedicated team of professionals committed to walking this journey together.
