We provide a hospice caring for the terminally ill including patients with HIV and AIDS. We provide palliative care for children, adults and older persons as well as counselling, care and support services for their families. We do not have an in-patient unit as all the care given is home-based. We also provide private palliative care for older persons. There is an additional fee for home-care service for persons needing daily care which is beyond the free palliative care service provided to patients with a life-threatening illness. We have a small community resource centre.
