Improving End-of-Life Care in the Community
The McGuinty government is improving the province's health care system by providing a grant of almost $10 million to the residential hospice sector. The investment will support the work of the hospices to improve quality of life for Ontarians.
A residential hospice is a home-like environment where people with life-threatening illnesses receive end-of-life care services. Residential hospices provide compassionate care and comfort to people who, in the last stages of their lives, cannot be cared for at home.
