What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity and quality of life for individuals living with a life-limiting illness. It provides compassionate, holistic support (physical, emotional and spiritual) not only to the person who is ill, but also to their family and loved ones.

At Mount Pleasant Group, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable end-of-life care. That’s why we’re proud to support hospice groups throughout the Greater Toronto Area – organizations that provide essential services with care and compassion.

Below are local hospices we support, offering residential care, community programs and bereavement services.
