How EOLCOR Supports Your End-of-Life Journey:

Once you contact EOLCOR, you will receive a call from our Services Representative to answer any questions and assess your needs to provide you with the best support. If you qualify for volunteer services and wish to move forward with support, the Services Representative will schedule an intake over the phone with our Intake Coordinator so we can assign a team of volunteers. All information is strictly confidential. 

Once your intake is complete, a client information packet and client forms packet will be emailed or mailed to you depending on your preference. Your volunteers will be in touch to schedule a home visit to go over your end-of-life options and see how they can best support your end-of-life goals and wishes.

We Encourage You to Connect With Our Team As Soon As Possible

If you are interested in utilizing the Death with Dignity Act and meet the eligibility requirements, please contact us as soon as possible. Delaying the qualification process can cause an inability to meet the law’s requirements.

If you are unsure of when or if you want to use the life-ending medication, the pharmacy can hold the prescription until you are ready to use it or not fill it at all. It’s better to qualify as soon as possible so you are able to keep this as an option, rather than wait until your window of opportunity has closed.

  • "We were so grateful for EOLCOR’s service. The kindness of knowledgeable EOLCOR’s volunteers was invaluable and allowed my husband of over forty years and me to treasure the time we had together without worry. Their support, clarification of the Death With Dignity law, and their presence over a five-month period provided us with the gift of peace of mind, and I will be forever grateful."

    —Mrs. J. Wheeler

  • “You really need an objective presence to help navigate the requirements of the [DWD] law. We experienced disbelief and denial as Jeanne’s symptoms began moving in on her. It became more difficult for her to pursue and concentrate on the things that needed to be done. An organization like EOLCOR has been so helpful in providing the road map to what is needed and the encouragement along the way, so that Jeanne can exercise her rights to DWD.”

    —Jim, Client's Husband

  • "EOLCOR gave Vern this choice allowed him to live until the last minute. He got what he asked for and he got it to the end. [...] He got exactly what he wanted and he was grateful and so were we."

    —Georgia, Client’s Wife
