Cheer Home Care is honored to partner with the Empowered Endings Medical Group, an organization dedicated to transforming end-of-life care. At our recent Lunch and Learn event, San Diego’s healthcare professionals, families, and caregivers joined together to engage with Dr. Bob Uslander, Diego Valli, and their team to discuss a holistic approach to end-of-life planning that empowers and informs. We especially loved meeting him because he once owned a home care company and understood how the home care Cheer provides directly impacts his team’s care. However, it is important to note that they start way before someone is at the end of their life or needs a caregiver; they want to ensure that everyone has thought it through when that time comes. They are perfect for any aging adult looking for a geriatrician or a geriatric medicine doctor.

Comprehensive Support for Seniors at all Stages

Based in San Diego, Empowered Endings Medical Group offers a suite of services designed to close the gaps in healthcare for individuals facing complex or terminal illnesses and those who want a little extra attention and care. Founded by Dr. Bob Uslander and Elizabeth Uslander, this team brings a compassionate, comprehensive approach, addressing physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of patient and family care. They believe in providing medically sound and responsive support to each individual’s unique needs. Empowered Endings Medical Group offers a specialized team, including doctors, nurses, counselors, doulas, and advocates. This approach ensures that every decision, from treatment options to care environments, aligns with the patient’s wishes, improving their quality of life even in challenging times. 

Building a Community of Knowledge and Compassion

To extend this philosophy, the Empowered Endings Institute provides resources and educational programs for healthcare professionals, end-of-life practitioners, and families. Through community collaboration, the Institute supports discussions on aging, palliative care, grief, and more, reimagining how society approaches the final chapters of life.
