What is Hospice Palliative Care?ÂQuality hospice palliative care strives to help patients and their families:
(Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, 2002) You can be assured that services do exist to meet your hospice palliative care needs in the Toronto Central region. How can you access services? Accessing hospice palliative care services in this region is not complicated. In the Toronto region, hospice palliative care can be provided in four care settings:
Community volunteer hospices provide a spectrum of services through trained volunteers and healthcare professionals for patients, caregivers, and their families. Visiting Physician Programs provide palliative physician services to patients in their home. Community Care Access Centres support the provision of nursing, personal support worker, and other relevant services.
If you think you can benefit from hospice palliative care services, you will need to decide which care setting you want to receive care in. You should engage in a conversation with your family, health care provider (your family physician and others), and other important individuals in your life to discuss this. However, any decisions you make now can be changed. In the Toronto region there are a number of organizations who provide core hospice palliative care services. You may contact hospice palliative care organizations directly or request your health care provider (if you have one) to contact these organizations directly for assistance and details.
