LeRoyer Hospice and Outpatient Palliative Care are both home-based programs focusing on maintaining comfort, providing emotional & spiritual support and improving the quality of life for patients and their families. Hospice care is for the terminally ill in the final months of life. In contrast, Palliative Care is provided more “upstream” and is appropriate for a much broader group of patients and, unlike hospice, may be provided at the same time as other potentially life prolonging treatments for the illness (such as chemo/radiotherapy or dialysis). Both hospice and palliative care offer a personalized plan of care, delivered by an interdisciplinary team that incorporates what is most important to the patient and family in order to achieve the best possible quality of life.

The Palliative Care Program has two components: 1) The Palliative Care Unit is a unique specialized hospital unit specifically for patients with life-limiting illness. Patients are admitted or transferred to the PCU for symptom management and/or terminal care. Care is provided by a specially trained palliative care team. 2) The Palliative Care Consultation Services provides guidance and expertise to patients and families when requested by the patient’s primary physician. Patients and families are seen throughout the hospital setting and on an outpatient basis by a palliative medicine specialist and advance practical nurse.

For individuals who are unable to remain at home during their final months of life.
