Companionship, respite care, and emotional support to people and their family/caregivers dealing with a life-limiting illness * bereavement support for anyone who has experienced the death of someone close 

Bereavement Services - Hospice Services is an important part of Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes and is a program of care rather than a place. Much of the care that we offer is referred to as “palliative care” which recognizes the emotional, physical, spiritual, and practical needs of each person living with illness and their family. Our goal is to support each family member through this time of illness, death and bereavement according to their needs and wishes. Whether you or a loved one has just been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, are grieving, or are a caregiver, please know that our team is here to help.
 
Our Hospice programs offer both group settings as well as one-to-one support, both in-person and virtual. All Hospice programs are offered by self-referral and are free of charge. We rely on generous donations from the community to support our underfunded and unfunded areas of service.

Services include:

• health system navigation
• caregiver support
• volunteer companionship
• support groups
• grief and bereavement care for both children and adults

Our Palliative Care Community Team (PCCT) can guide you and your family through the complex healthcare system, offer expert palliative care consultation to members of your care team, provide access to palliative care professionals round the clock, ensuring continuous support and medical expertise, and are available for emotional support as you and your family navigate the challenges of living with illness.
