With our community support program we provide care coordination and in-home support to individuals diagnosed with a life-limiting illness who live in Etobicoke and West Toronto. Using an integrated approach we work with community organizations and health care partners to meet the physical emotional spiritual and support needs of people with a life limiting illness and their families. Our services include care coordination information referral & navigation palliative physician care at home spiritual care in-home volunteer support wellness respite day program and grief and bereavement care. Our hospice residence was built with the generous support of our community and opened in 2009. In our 12 bed residence we offer 24-hour care in a home-like environment. The residential care program offers end-of-life care that focuses on quality of life through holistic pain and symptom management and support with a focus on helping individuals have the best quality of life.
