Hospice palliative care provides physical, emotional,
psychological, spiritual and practical support, bringing
together family members, friends, volunteers, physicians,
nurses and other healthcare professionals, to maintain
dignity in death and support for individuals and families:
- Address physical, psychological, social, spiritual and
practical issues and associated expectations, needs,
hopes and fears.
-Prepare for and manage self-determined life closure
and the dying process.
-Cope with loss and grief during the illness and
bereavement.
To enable those objectives, a place of comfort and
warmth needs to be provided. Palliative Services has
acquired a large parcel of land in a naturally wooded
area, situated on the shore of the Lake, within easy reach
of Elliot Lake, to establish such a facility. The building will be
born of the same objectives as the desire to assist. They
should reflect those values of comfort, support, the
inclusion of family and friends, respect for privacy, yet with
the ability to provide trained staff and resources as
necessary.
