The Valley Hospice is a welcoming place where compassionate care is provided when end-of-life is near. Care and support is provided to residents and their families around the clock.
The Hospice is not a place for dying, but a place where you live your last days. It is a place of both sadness and laughter, and of community where last days are met with support and compassion by a team of professional care providers and volunteers.

Our Stories
Success for our Hospice has been described as providing a positive end of life experience for patients and families/loved ones.
The Valley Hospice Foundation raises funds to support various non-medical programs and services.
Why We Need You
The Valley Hospice Foundation began in response to a community need to offer Valley residents – who for any reason are unable to die at home – and their loved ones a welcoming, quiet and comfortable alternative to hospital-based palliative care.
We believe that the spiritual, cultural and emotional aspects of care at the end-of-life are best served in a peaceful and home like place that has access to nature.
The new 10 bedroom Hospice residence is located in a wooded area on a site near Valley Regional Hospital. It sits on a knoll with the trees between it and Brooklyn Street in Kentville NS.
