Palliative Care
Our goal is to connect people with the right care at the right time and in the right place. Every day, we help people find their way through Ontario's health care system, understand their options and connect them to quality community-based health care and resources. Our highly qualified health professionals provide a range of specialized care at home and in the community, including physiotherapy, nursing, speech therapy, palliative care and more. We work with people of all ages to ensure they make informed choices about their care and receive services in the most appropriate setting.
What will CCAC Palliative Care Coordinators do?
• Establish a care and service plan balancing the needs, choices and available resources for the patient/client and caregiver
• Connect to other key care and community partners to ensure care and support for palliative patients is uninterrupted
• Assist in preventing any unnecessary hospital visits
• Link patients to the appropriate health care providers effectively when needed
• Help patients with advanced care planning and identify who should be involved every step of the way
• Explore day programs, hospice, long-term care options, and more
Anyone can make a referral to the CCAC for palliative care; the client, a family member, caregiver, friend, physician or other health care professional. To make a referral for palliative care or for more information, contact Champlain CCAC from anywhere in Ontario.
