COMFORT, CARE AND COMPASSION WHEN IT'S NEEDED MOST

Hospice/Palliative care is active and compassionate care of the terminally ill, with the aim of enhancing the quality of their remaining lifetime. When the goals of cure and prolongation of life are no longer paramount, care is directed towards the control of distressing symptoms and addresses the physical, psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual needs of the dying persons and their families. Care encompasses the terminal phase, death, and bereavement period. The aim of Hospice/Palliative care is to enable a person “to live each day until he dies” in comfort and dignity in the location of his choice.

The Terrace Hospice Society provides a volunteer-based program that offers compassionate care and support for the dying, their caregivers, and the bereaved in the community and has done so since 1992. Please give us a call today at (250) 635-4811.
