Description: 

Hospice Toronto works on a care team model, with the belief that teams of caregivers from different walks of life can best meet the needs of someone who chooses to die at home. A care team often includes spouses or partners, families, friends, neighbours, colleagues, doctors, nurses, personal support workers and volunteers. We can help set up the team, provide team members with training and support, and supplement the team with skilled volunteers if required. Hospice volunteers may do the following: care-giving such as helping a person move around, mouth care, bed and personal care; respite care (giving caregivers a break); assist with meal preparation; provide emotional and spiritual support.
