Hospice

Hospice care is a special kind of care that focuses on the quality of life for people and their caregivers who are experiencing an advanced, life-limiting illness. Hospice care provides compassionate care for people in the last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible.

​

Hospice care is a benefit of health services designed to meet the general needs of patients and their loved ones. When a patient is diagnosed with a disease condition for which comfort and palliative care are indicated rather than curative treatment, hospice will help you and your family make choices about end-of-life issues that will empower you to have greater control over these challenges.

Can a Hospice Service make a difference?

Hospice care provides comfort and kindness to people nearing one's end-of-life journey. Hospice will help you make decisions about how and where you want to spend the rest of your life. Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals in partnership with your primary care physician. Family and significant others are encouraged to be part of the care team. Counselling and Spiritual support are available to the patient as well as to the family members.
