Greater Trail Hospice does not have a facility, but instead we travel to where the individuals who need our help are. We visit homes, facilities, hospitals and the like.

Hospice care is specialized care focused on providing support, comfort, and dignity to individuals with a life-limiting illness. It aims to enhance the quality of life for both patients and their families by addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Hospice care is primarily funded through a combination of government support, charitable donations, and the dedication of volunteers. Hospice Services are provided to individuals and their families free of charge, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder access to compassionate care. It is thanks to the generosity of donors and the commitment of volunteers that hospice care remains accessible to those in need.

Hospice care extends support not only to the patient but also to their family members. The hospice team provides emotional and practical support, education, counseling, and assistance with end-of-life planning. Grief support services are also available to help family members cope with their loss and navigate the bereavement process.
