At the Portland Elder Care Council, we’re not just a resource for our own clients—we’re here for each other’s too. That’s the beauty of this group: together, we strengthen our businesses, expand our reach, and serve our community in a more holistic way.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it for this scoop of powerhouse women. 💪💜 Our bi-monthly meetings keep us connected, supported, and inspired, while our quarterly in-person gatherings (like this one at a beautiful ) remind us why collaboration makes us stronger.

Here’s to consistency, community, and a shared commitment to making life better for the seniors and families we serve. 💗

“Please don’t use the H-word…” 💬

End-of-life doula Maryann Giunta, co-founder of Evening Star Doula Services, reminds us that hospice isn’t a surrender—it’s a powerful support system. Too often, people wait until the final days to accept care that could have brought comfort, dignity, and peace much earlier.

Hospice doesn’t mean giving up. It means saying yes to compassionate support for both the individual and their loved ones. And doulas like Maryann help families navigate this path with care, clarity, and humanity. Let’s break the stigma and start talking about the care we all deserve. 🌿
