Description (Service)

Palliative Care Community Team (PCCT) - The clinical nurse navigator provides care from diagnosis of a life-limiting illness, through bereavement. While other members of your care team will come and go throughout a person's journey with illness, the clinical nurse navigator will stay constant through your entire journey to ensure the best experience and quality of life possible.

Illness Support Groups -

  • Living with Cancer - a support group is for individuals who are currently living with cancer, have been recently diagnosed, or are undergoing treatment. Currently, this group meets virtually on the 2nd Monday of every month from 2 pm-3 pm
  • Living with Illness - a support group for individuals currently living with a life-limiting disease such as, but not limited to cancer, end-stage COPD, renal disease, heart failure or ALS. Currently, this group meets virtually on the 4th Monday of every month from 2-3 PM.

Volunteer Care Companions - are specially trained volunteers and are a vital part to our care team. Our volunteers offer compassionate emotional, spiritual, and practical support to a client and their family.

Volunteer Care Companions can:

  • Provide respite for you as a caregiver - your volunteer will stay with your loved one while you do errands or attend an appointment
  • Offer companionship and a supportive, non-judgmental ear
  • Prepare light snacks/meals
  • Accompany someone for a walk, to appointments, etc.
  • Assist with writing journals or letters, helping to create a memory box or scrapbook of one's life
  • Read together, play cards, assist with crafts or hobbies

***Volunteers DO NOT provide medical care or housekeeping
