AARP Family Caregiving Series in Collaboration with CACCC
Loving Life … Understanding Hospice (with English Subtitles)
This program explains hospice care in the United States to the Chinese-American community. Chinese is the third most frequently spoken language in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This video was created by the Chinese American Coalition for Compassionate Care, which produced the video under contract for Hospice Foundation of America. Hospice Foundation of America funded the project through the Hospice Education and Outreach Project, which is made possible by a grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
“Kathy & Windy” features a mother and daughter’s journey confronting mortality. Death is inevitable, but how does one prepare for death? How does one talk about death? The Kathy and Windy story is not just a film about their personal journey; their story sheds light on how we can prepare for and navigate the final chapters of our lives with direction, purpose, and confidence.
