Community Services

Hospice staff and volunteers work with our medical partners to help support those being cared for at home during end-of-life. Community programs include:

• In-home support – home visitation program delivered by trained volunteers who provide emotional support to both patient and family.
• Care for the caregiver – volunteers are available to provide relief care to allow families to take a break.

For more information on our In-home support and Care for the caregiver programs, please contact Nicole Pike, Volunteer and Clinical Support Coordinator at 506-206-7955 or by email, at npike@hospicefredericton.ca

• Narrative care – this helps direct the focus into the patient’s lives by identifying the joyful times. Volunteers will help patients re-tell the story of their lives and share their memories with loved ones. Stay tuned for more information!
• Grief Support – this 6-week grief support group is facilitated by two experienced social workers and is both supportive and educational. Please see our Grief Resources page for more information.
