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.

Dr. Balfour Mount, Father of Palliative Care in North America announced as honorary Valley Hospice Foundation patron

When you take the time to think about palliative care, you will be struck by its complexity. At its core, it’s about compassionate end-of-life care for the dying and the living; supporting the whole person through individualized and multi-layered medical, nursing, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual care. These are the founding principles established by our dear friend Dr. Mount, who has dedicated his life’s work to establishing palliative care in North America. That’s why we’re honoured to announce Dr. Mount, Father of Palliative Care in North America as an honorary patron of The Valley Hospice.

 

 

The COVID 19 pandemic has brought about new ways of doing things so, to get around the challenges that it presents, we are hosting a traditional garden party in an unusual way.

To raise the funds required to continue working on the grounds, patios, and gardens we are throwing a “virtual garden party”. This online event will run from June 1^st-30^th.

During the month we will share garden photos, garden party recipes you might want to try, hints you can use in your own garden, flower arranging ideas and there will be draws for garden-related goodies.
