Carefor Hospice Cornwall
Peace. Comfort. Dignity.
Hospice Cornwall is a 10-bed facility that provides end-of-life care in a home-like setting to the residents of the City of Cornwall, Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry, as well as Prescott and Russell Counties. Staff also offer community programs which allow people and families to receive care and support in their own homes.
We offer regular support groups as well as a 6-week closed group session for family and caregivers who have lost a loved one.
As part of the Hospice team they provide a reassuring presence to the resident and their support network in many different ways.
We currently offer three different programs: the Palliative Day Program, the Volunteer Visiting Program, and Caregiver Support.

Volunteer at Hospice
Volunteers are an integral and valued part of our team at Carefor Hospice Cornwall.
We offer specialized training in all areas. All volunteers are required to have a valid police check on file to work within our organization. They also must take part in a Palliative Care Course, given by a registered health care professional. This course covers all aspects of end-of-life care and how it pertains to volunteering at Hospice.
To learn more about volunteering, please contact us at 613-938-2763 ext. 4140 or visit our contact us page
