Honouring Life

with

Comfort and Dignity.

Our Hospice Program

Our hospice program focuses on symptom relief, comfort care, and emotional support for patients and their families. Most of our patients require hospice care due to serious illness and also need assistance with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and meal preparation. Some patients may be completely dependent. We encourage family members, friends, and volunteers to participate actively in caring for their loved ones while staying in our facility.

Our Story

Terminally ill Manitobans have significantly less access to end-of-life healthcare compared to other Canadians. Pembina Valley Hospice House was created to address the shortage of hospice beds in Manitoba. Currently, few hospice beds exist in Manitoba, and all are located in Winnipeg, which is insufficient to meet the high demand.

Our dedicated staff provide compassionate hospice care to ensure that patients and their families experience the best possible quality of life at the end of life. We hope the Pembina Valley Hospice House will provide a peaceful setting for people to spend their final days.

In the long term, we hope our hospice house encourages the government to reduce healthcare costs by offering hospice care as an alternative to hospital beds, emergency rooms, and urgent care for patients in their final stages.

Everyone deserves the right to choose where to spend their last days while receiving the best possible care.

“Grief is the last act of love we can give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love.”
