Palliative & End-of-Life Care in Selkirk

Palliative & End-of-Life Care. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.

What Your Family Gains

Pain controlled

Around-the-clock analgesia and breakthrough dosing means your parent is not waiting for relief.

Family present, not performing

Professional care handles the clinical; family gets to sit, hold hands, and be present.

Home instead of hospice waitlist

When the 16 city hospice beds are full, home becomes the best alternative — and we make it possible.

Last wishes honoured

Staying home, familiar surroundings, favourite music, pets nearby — the small things that matter most at end of life.
