Welcome to the Dignity House of Perth Hospice website!

 

Our Mission

To assist individuals diagnosed with life-limiting illnesses to live life as fully as possible while maintaining their dignity and comfort, as well as to provide support to their loved ones.

 

Our Purpose

The purpose of Dignity House of Perth Hospice is to develop and maintain a residential hospice to provide for the palliative and end-of-life care needs of patients diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and to support their families and friends,  in the Town of Perth and surrounding communities -- specifically Lanark County.

 

By choosing hospice care these patients have made the decision, in consultation with their family and doctor, to replace cure goals with comfort and palliative goals.

 

As we work to gather the funding required to undertake our final objective to establish the residential hospice, the supporters of Dignity House plan to offer other hospice programs to the residents of Lanark County -- The Lanark County Day Hospice Initiative, a Bereavement Support Group, a Phone Support Program, and eventually, an Outreach Program.

 

All services offered at Dignity House of Perth Hospice will be patient-centered, and will focus on the patient rather than the illness, and will aim to give families respite from the extraordinary challenges of providing ongoing care to an ill or dying loved one.

 

All support services will be provided at no charge to patients and their loved ones.  Medical care will be provided at no charge to patients holding a valid OHIP card, and will be guided by a commitment to EQUAL access to services for ALL residents of Lanark County.   We take our patients’ confidentiality seriously and ensure that it is protected at all times.

Pain management will always be our number one priority.  We will work closely with our patients and their loved ones to ensure timely referrals and advocate for appropriate intervention as needed.

Dignity House of Perth Hospice is a Registered Canadian Charity # 85631 4026 RR0001

2009 Official Receipts will be issued in February 2010.
