Who we serve and support.

  We are a non-residential hospice (we do not have a free-standing building) offering programs and supports to those living in east-central Alberta.
   It is our intention to empower and encourage our community as its members navigate the experiences of life-limiting illnesses, end-of-life care, and bereavement and grief.
   Anyone, of any age, with a life-limiting illness may access our palliative support programs. As well, bereavement and grief supports are available to all ages through the Grief & Bereavement Navigator.

We are here to serve if you:
  • Have recently been diagnosed with a serious illness, such as cancer, ALS, COPD, or another life-limiting illness
  • Have struggled with a life-limiting illness for some time and are approaching the need for end-of-life care
  • Are grieving a loss due to death, regardless of the nature of that loss
  • Would like to learn more about grief signs, symptoms, and strategies for wellness
  • Would appreciate a presentation to your group about Hospice services

We serve

  • Adults
  • Youth
  • Children
  • Elders
  • Professional caregivers
  • Personal caregivers
  • All with a palliative diagnosis, and their families
  • Volunteers and donors contributing time, energy, and resources
  • Those who want to learn about palliative and end-of-life care issues as well as grief and mourning.
 
We are here as a support as you seek to improve your quality of life.


Who we are.

 
What is Hospice?
Our Mission To enable our community to support those facing advancing illness, death and bereavement with dignity - through education and compassionate care.
Our Vision Compassionate Community
Our Goal In addition to providing quality care throughout Camrose and area, we have a goal to build a free-standing hospice facility as an alternative home for those who want to die in a comfortable, peaceful and supportive setting.
 

Our Charter of Values Values are our priorities in how we carry out our purpose.

Our values create a safe, welcoming environment for those we serve, for volunteers, for visitors, and for staff.

Hospice values encompass five arenas of care:
  • Physical Care: Individuals under our care will be treated with comfort and dignity based upon best practices and principles
  • Social Care: Individuals under our care will be offered companionship and hospitality
  • Emotional Care: Individuals under our care will be provided refuge, restoration, and compassion
  • Spiritual Care: Individuals under our care will be nurtured in spirit through their living and their dying, attentive to their needs, within a compassionate environment
  • Community Care: Hospice will serve its community with a commitment to integrity in providing education on the themes of palliative/end-of-life care and grief and bereavement

Treaty 6

Treaty 6 Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the land upon which we work and serve is Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota, Dene, Assiniboine, and Ojibwa nations.

Fulfilling the spirit and intent of this Treaty is an ongoing process, one that requires a commitment to building strong and respectful relationships with the first nations peoples of the land, the second nations settlers, with all living beings, and with the land and water on which we all depend.
