Hospice is a large program encompassing a wide range of services and care for those afflicted with a terminal disease and their families. Hospice strives to treat the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient. A nurse makes home visits to help manage symptoms, while home health aides help with personal care and companionship. Social workers aide with emotional support and advanced directives, speaking with families to determine strengths and needs, coordinate problem solving, counselling and referrals. Finally, chaplain services provide spiritual support upon request. Palliative care exists to enhance the comfort and quality of life, with no specific therapy being excluded from consideration.

Emphasizes maintaining patients in their own homes. In-patient care and residential care is available when the level of care required mitigates against home management or when the client does not have a caregiver or family member able to care for them at home. Whenever possible, the aim of in-patient care is to enable the patient and family to return to home care. Terminal illness affects every member of the family. Hospice care includes both patient and family as the primary unit of care. Family members are supported in their efforts to care for the patient themselves and to prepare for the impending death. In addition, the bereavement program and support group helps family members come to terms with their grief following the patient's death.
