About Hospice Care
Circle of Care’s visiting hospice and palliative care program—accredited by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario—supports individuals living with a terminal or life-limiting illness, as well as their families. As a visiting hospice, we come to you—providing care and support in the comfort of your home.
We offer both a non-denominational program and a specialized hospice program for the Jewish community, designed to meet cultural and spiritual needs.
Our Services
All clients are supported by a dedicated case manager who coordinates care, conducts assessments, and serves as your main point of contact. Based on your needs, you may also be matched with a trained hospice volunteer for companionship and more informal, ongoing support. All volunteers complete the provincial 30-hour Hospice Care Core Volunteer Training. Our program helps individuals and their families navigate the practical and emotional aspects of end-of-life care at home through:
- Intake and connection to community resources
- Comprehensive assessment and care planning
- Psychosocial support
- Assistance with essential needs (e.g., food and supplies)
- Friendly calls and in-home visits
- Support groups for caregivers:
- Upcoming group: Online Hospice Caregiver Support Group – 6 Weeks (FULL)

What Our Clients Are Saying
“I really enjoy how much my Hospice volunteer and I have in common. We’re from the same generation and have many of the same memories. We’ve raised our families and worked hard all our lives. His visit is the highlight of my week and a welcome change from worrying about my health.”
