What is a Visiting Hospice?

Hospice Georgina's trained volunteers promote comfort and self determination, enabling persons to participate in making decisions about what is important at the end of their lives or when recovering from grief. We offer visiting volunteers to palliative care clients who wish to remain in their own homes, live with families or have moved into a more supportive living arrangement, such as a long term care home.

Our programs provide support and compassion and are not seen as therapy, nor do we provide hands on personal support or health care. Providing a caring ear and emotional support to both clients and their family members is central to everything that hospice does.

Hospice Georgina is a visiting hospice, not a residential hospice, as we have no beds or nursing services. The closest residential hospice is Hill House hospice, a three bed residence in Richmond Hill.
