Retired nursing opportunities in end of life care - Stanford

We are starting a program to help people and their families have their wishes known and honored when the end of life is near. To do this we are imagining something like a doula model, but for patients who likely have a year or less to live. We had hoped to use retired nurses as these "doulas" to develop relationships with patients/families, guide them through conversations and education, and meet them in their homes.

Do you think this would be something of interest to retired nurses?
What level of payment would be fair for retired nurses?
If nurses got to know these families, would they willing to be "on call" in case a crisis arose?

Thank you so much for your input! We are very grateful
Interesting idea....kind of like being a midwife for the dying. If you are not taking Medicare dollars then you are FREE of the endless regulations they impose on you. I have heard of 100% non Medicare hospices, but they are few and far between. I would charge an hourly rate based on ability to pay. Keep it simple and I think retired RN's would be a great idea. I would think about incorporating CAM therapy as well...aromatherapy, acupucture, hypnosis etc.....Peace"Everything I have learned in life is from those with no life left"
