End of Life Care at Home

Private End-of-Life Care In Ottawa

Gentle support for one of life's most important journeys.

When Care Needs Begin to Change.

Palliative care and the final stages of life are not the same. Understanding how needs may evolve can help families feel more prepared for the days ahead.

01

Living With Serious Illness

Palliative care can begin well before the final stages of life. During this time, someone may continue enjoying familiar activities and routines, while receiving treatment and support focused on their comfort and quality of life.

02

When Everyday Life Changes

As illness progresses, fatigue may increase, mobility may decrease, and familiar activities may become more difficult. Some days may look quite different from others.

03

Approaching the Final Days

When a person enters the active dying phase, they may spend more time sleeping, become less responsive, and gradually lose interest in food and fluids. The focus becomes increasingly centred on comfort.

Every person's experience is different. These changes do not always occur in a predictable order or timeframe.
