Consulting for Families

When ICU patients have to be intubated and on the ventilator, standard practice is to sedate them and ensure they remain immobile and “unaware of their surroundings.” But these methods have been shown to be detrimental to the health of patients, who can experience severe complications as a result of being sedated and motionless for long periods of time.

Sadly, most people are not aware of this, including many of those who work in the ICU. That being the case, when your loved one is in the intensive care unit, the last thing you want to be doing is sifting through scientific papers and trying to figure out how to educate hospital staff on what’s best for your family member.

We believe patients should remain autonomous whenever possible, and clinicians should facilitate meaningful communication with patients and their families to make sure they have a say in the kind of care they’re receiving. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.

It can be tough to navigate this situation alone, not least because your own loved one is in the hospital. Let us shoulder some of the burden by giving you the information you need to understand how to improve your loved one’s chances, and the insight on how to apply that knowledge as their patient care advocate.

Through our services, you’ll be able to:

Understand your role as a loved one in the ICU
Understand how to improve your family member’s quality of life when they return home
Learn how to become a patient care advocate for your family member
Know what can be done to reduce your loved one’s chances of dying or suffering other complications
