Abstract

Comfort care homes are community-run, residential homes that provide end-of-life care to terminally ill individuals who lack safe, secure housing and a reliable caregiver system. As nonprofit, non-medical facilities, these homes have faced both new and magnified challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This article highlights the value of collaborative interagency partnerships and shares reflections on the unique pandemic pressures faced by comfort care homes. Innovative ideas for improving community-based end-of-life care and implications for social work practice are included.
