Common questions
Understanding MAKA care
Is MAKA a hospice or home-health agency?
No. MAKA provides private-pay, non-medical end-of-life doula and companion support. We work alongside hospice, home health, and medical professionals when they are involved.
What can an end-of-life doula help with?
A doula can offer companionship, emotional support, family guidance, respite, comfort-focused planning, light household help, meal support, errands, and coordination. The exact plan is personalized.
Do we need to be enrolled in hospice?
No. A family may contact MAKA before hospice, while receiving hospice services, or when planning ahead. We will help clarify what support fits the situation.
What happens after we contact you?
We begin with a confidential conversation, learn what is happening now, identify the family’s most urgent needs, and determine whether MAKA is the right fit. There is no obligation to enroll.
