ABOUT HOME HOSPICE NORTH LANARK
Home Hospice North Lanark is a hospice “without walls”
We are a volunteer visiting program that supports adults with a life-limiting illness. We assist people who wish to remain at home wherever they call home – including their own home, retirement home, long-term care facility or hospital – to live out their lives in familiar surroundings.
We are a non-for-profit registered Canadian Charity 100% funded through donations and targeted fundraising initiatives. Home Hospice is managed by a Board of Directors.
We are a community based program. There are no fees for our service which is provided by a team of Visiting Volunteers who are screened and trained to the highest standards. All visiting volunteers are required to participate in a 35 hour training program through Hospice Palliative Care Ontario and complete a vulnerable police check.
Our focus is on the emotional and spiritual well-being of individuals and their loved ones.
We have 2 Program Coordinators on staff – one is an RN and the other is a Social Worker – who coordinate and oversee the program and our Visiting Volunteers.
Our Program Coordinator will be at Orchard View every Monday from 12 noon to 3pm so please drop by and visit with her or call 613 406 7020 to speak to the Coordinator.
Both of our Program Coordinators and all of our Visiting Volunteers are fully vaccinated and follow all Covid protocols.
