What We Do
The National Standard of Hospice Palliative Care recommends connecting with your local hospice soon after you or your family receive a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness. Early support can help you and your family navigate treatment, adjust to changes, and plan for what matters most.
Creating a palliative care plan while you’re well enough to share your wishes is an important way to ensure your needs and preferences are understood and respected.
Hospice Muskoka can help.
​
Hospice Muskoka support services are available to all residents of Muskoka Lakes, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, and Georgian Bay Townships, including Wahta First Nation and Moose Deer Point First Nation and, by extension, their families.
Stories of the Heart
Hospice Muskoka’s “Stories of the Heart” volunteers work with our clients to capture their memories and stories, share and preserve their values and wisdom in a confidential secure way. The sharing of their final “Stories of the Heart” is at the discretion of our clients. Over time, we have found that these stories and insights help families with their loss, grief and bereavement and are often used to help create eulogies and memorials.
