The final stages of life are as important as all other stages, deserving presence, respect and dignity as well as freedom of choice. We provide care which emphasizes:

  • Principles of death with dignity and grace

  • Alleviation of fears of dying alone
  • Support for family and loved ones before, during and following death

  • Strives to alleviate suffering – physical, emotional, social and spiritual
  • Provides comprehensive hospice care and services
  • Educates the community about hospice services and end of life issues
  • Offers bereavement counseling services and support
  • Embraces all cultures
