Living with Love. Dying with Dignity

Death is universal. It happens to all of us. We believe having conversations about hospice palliative care- supported death can bring comfort and dignity to all. As a specialized form of healthcare, hospice palliative care aims to relieve suffering and improve the quality of life for those living with a life limiting illness, as well as their families. Hospice palliative care addresses the specific physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and practical issues, and their associated expectations, needs, hopes and fears on an individual basis (Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association)

Kay Blair Hospice is in the process of building a state-of-the-art twelve (12) bed hospice residence reflecting the unique and rich diversity of our Brampton community.

With tranquil land generously gifted by the City of Brampton, and with your financial support, together we can build now. Donate here now

End-of-life care
in a home-like setting

According to Stats Canada, 70-80% of Canadians prefer to die at home. The reality is that most individuals die in hospitals without the peace, specialized care, or support that they and their loved ones deserve.

Kay Blair Hospice will provide 24-hour compassionate, and inclusive care in a home-like setting that fosters a sense of comfort, peace, and unconditional love at no cost to the individuals and families served.

Compassionate Care…. for ALL

For those facing a life-limiting illness

Kay Blair Hospice will provide the very best individualized care in a home-like environment that fosters compassion, safety, inclusion, cultural humility, choice, and trust.

Led by an interdisciplinary team, with education and training in hospice palliative care, individuals and their family members will be cared for by compassionate and professional staff and volunteers.

For families and caregivers

When an individual is faced with life-limiting illness, it impacts everybody around them. Family and caregivers can often feel alone, confused, scared and uncertain about how to support their loved one, each other, and/or how to access the right help at the right time.

Kay Blair Hospice recognizes the important value and contribution of family, friends, and caregivers in supporting their loved one to ensure their wishes and values are known. We will offer a safe environment for loved ones to share and to be fully present with one another, without worrying about caregiving responsibilities. Kay Blair Hospice will support families and caregivers throughout their journey, including provision of bereavement support services.

For the community

Kay Blair Hospice will be welcoming, inclusive and offer equitable 24-hour, end-of-life care to all all regardless of race, religion or faith, ethnicity, language, disability, gender, sexual orientation/identity, educational background, socio-economic status or income.

Kay Blair Hospice supports all residents of the City of Brampton and surrounding areas.
