 End of Life Care

End-of-Life Care focuses on providing holistic care services to maximize the quality of life for individuals and families who are living with life threatening illnesses. End-of-Life is considered to be the final stage of the journey of life.

End-of-Life Care touches people of all ages and includes both the individual and their family. It engages all parts of the health care system; from hospitals, hospices and long-term care facilities, to communities, and the home environment.

End-of-Life Care addresses the physical needs of a person but also the spiritual, emotional mental health and financial needs of the individual and the family.
