From Chaos to Clear Decisions
Structured decision support for complex dementia and end-of-life transitions in Portland.
When Systems Fracture, Families Are Left to Decide Alone
A diagnosis of dementia or serious illness creates a cascade of decisions—medical, legal, and deeply personal. Most families are forced to navigate fragmented information, conflicting opinions, and emotional pressure without a clear plan.
The Legacy Framework™ exists to bring structure, alignment, and leadership to moments when clarity matters most.
A Structured Approach to Complex Transitions
The Stability Review
We assess the current situation, identify immediate risks, and clarify what decisions are settled versus unresolved. Families leave with a prioritized action plan for the next 7–14 days.
Values-Aligned Decision Support
We document the individual’s values, preferences, and identity markers to ensure decisions reflect who they are, not just what is convenient or urgent.
Transition Planning & Coordination
We translate family priorities into a clear, actionable plan that supports smoother transitions across home care, facilities, hospice, or palliative services.
Expert Guidance Grounded in Systems-Level Experience
The Legacy Framework™ was founded by JamiQuan Rudd, MSW, LMSW, a master’s-level professional with extensive experience navigating complex healthcare and family systems.Through work within hospital environments and county-based care coordination, JamiQuan repeatedly observed the same problem: families were being asked to make irreversible decisions while overwhelmed, under-informed, and under-supported.The Legacy Framework™ was created to address that gap.Rather than adding another layer of emotional labor, this work provides structured decision support, clear prioritization, and steady leadership, so families can move forward with intention, dignity, and clarity during high-stakes transitions.
