How is this service different from Hospice?

Our services are not restricted to those who are dying. Palliation of symptoms may be an important adjunct to life-prolonging treatments. Relief of pain and other distressing symptoms is important for a patient’s quality of life. Physical, psychological and spiritual support for patients and their loved ones is included. Ultimately, these patients may continue the transition to Hospice, but some may opt to continue palliative care only.

We believe in maintaining patient dignity and supporting individual patient and family wishes. We will not hasten or postpone death.
