Overview of programs and Services:

Hospice Care Ottawa is a community-based charitable, non-profit organization. We offer palliative and end-of-life care, at no charge, to individuals and their loved ones.

At Hospice Care Ottawa we support individuals and their caregivers during their entire illness, from the time of diagnosis through to death and bereavement. Programs are provided at our hospice sites across the City of Ottawa and within the community. Delivery of services is made possible through the support of a small dedicated staff, many volunteers and generous donors.

Community Hospice Care programs include Day Hospice, In-Home Support and Caregiver and Bereavement Supports.

The Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice has ten hospice care beds where we provide round the clock care for people at the end-of-life, in a home-like and peaceful setting.

Referrals to our community based hospice programs can be made by anyone. Please contact 613-680-0306

Our services include:
Hospice Residence Care Program provides round the clock care for people at the end-of-life, in a home-like and peaceful setting. A multidisciplinary team supports the management of physical symptoms and emotional care. Friends and family are welcome.

In-Home Support offers weekly visits by a volunteer who can provide a reassuring presence, companionship, practical support and comfort measures while giving respite time for caregivers.

Day Hospice is a weekly day out in a comfortable, friendly and home-like environment. Delicious food is served and there are a variety of activities that can include art, complementary therapies, music and more. Camaraderie and laughter are some of the reasons Day Hospice is so popular.

Caregiver and Bereavement Supports include peer groups, walks, telephone support and retreats. Emotional, educational and practical support is available to families and caregivers who look after someone with a life-limiting illness and to the bereaved.
