This is an amazing practice and model, thanks for sharing. I recently read an study about how people who die "alone" have some of the most peaceful deaths, but it was because they were surrounded by care networks like this one.

Ooh, could you share the study? Would love to know more. And glad you liked the piece!

Wow!! How seriously inspiring! This model could be replicated across so many stages of the care “lifespan” (lol: ie; life).

Yes, exactly! Proximity + community are so often the starting points of good care models, be they public, private or nonprofit.
