Hospice House Program

Did you know that palliative care is available to you at home? Advanced illness disrupts a familys equilibrium for this reason, providing coordinated care within the comfort and security of your home is an essential component of the Palliative Care Program. Our program of services is available, to you and your family, either in your home, or when admission to Hospice House becomes necessary. Based upon your needs, home care nursing, home support, physical and occupational therapy, and emotional and nutritional counselling is available to you. You and your family are the centre of our Palliative Care team. An interdisciplinary, collaborative group of health care providers will work with you and your physician. Our goal is to provide you and your family with the services you need to meet your specific palliative care needs.

Admission to Hospice House is determined by the following criteria: referred to and accepted into the Hospice Palliative Care Program (as above). the family and referring physician are responsible for daily care in Hospice House. In the event of the absence of the referring physician, a locum must be named and care is turned over to the HPC Medical Director. a Do Not Resuscitate form and a Palliative Benefits form must be obtained for all clients and must be signed by the client and the physician. the client shall have symptoms that cannot be controlled at home. admissions must be accompanied by orders from the attending physician.
