Hospice care helps people who are very sick in the final stages of life, focusing on comfort and quality of life. Hospice teams also support spiritual, cultural, and emotional needs in a setting that feels calm and homelike.

Each room is private, with most offering their own washroom. There are areas for visiting, dining, and relaxing. Daily routines are flexible, and family and friends are welcome to visit anytime.
