How can we help you?

 

Lost? Confused? Our Social Workers can assist you with counseling, difficult conversations with family including children, navigating the health care system and connecting you with other support that you might  require.

We provide a large variety of programs to help you with your social, emotional, and physical self that are online and in person. 

End-of-Life

Hospice Dufferin is there for you and your family as you or a loved one faces end-of-life. Volunteers are available to offer caregivers respite, time to sleep or take time for themselves. Our staff is also there to help the entire family prepare for the loss.

Life-limiting Illness

When faced with a life-limiting illness, individuals have many fears and questions. Our staff and volunteers are available to talk and help provide answers. We have social programs available, so that you do not feel isolated or alone in your journey.

Bereavement

Although grief is a natural response to death, it is often misunderstood by others and foreign to the person experiencing it. Hospice Dufferin Bereavement Programs include: one-on-one support from a spiritual care coordinator, monthly mailing to grieving family members, and a lending library of information for adults and children.

What is palliative care and how do we help?

 

Palliative care is caring for patients and families facing a life-threatening illness. It may start from the time of diagnosis or a serious illness, but does not end when someone dies.

Family and friends need support as they grieve the loss of their loved ones.

Hospice Care focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill or seriously ill person by attending to their emotional and spiritual needs.

Dying, caregiving and grieving are three of life’s greatest challenges and deserve compassionate, caring support. Our services are available at no cost throughout Dufferin County in clients’ homes, at the hospital or in our facility.

Our services include:

  • One-on-one volunteer visiting

  • Day programs, including Art Therapy

  • Caregiver support and respite

  • Bereavement programs

  • Community library of educational materials.
