In collaboration with the Good Death Institute, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, BPA conducted research on death, dying, and the state of caregiving in San Francisco. Designed as a first look at the definition of a "good death" and at quality of life issues for individuals at the end of life (and for their families and caregivers), this project included an analysis of present and future caregiving needs, particularly among San Francisco's elderly population. Our report documented anticipated gaps in care given current and expected changes in health care and demographics.
