The province is supporting a program by Hospice Quinte which helps seniors in the last journey they will take.
On Monday morning at Hospice Quinte in Quinte West, Bay of Quinte MPP Todd Smith announced a $24,000 Seniors Community Grant for Hospice Quinte.
The money will be used for their Advance Care Planning Seminars.
MPP Smith:
“Planning is a way to ensure that you can make the important and difficult decisions about health care, as illness progresses, and about what happens when we die.”
Petra Lepage is the Community Hospice Manager.
“This grant will definitely be helping seniors. As you know we are a demographic in this area of a lot of seniors. These conversations need to be had every day, with the seniors, with health care providers and with family members, to ensure that people’s end of life wishes are known and followed.”
The seminars are for adults 55 and older. You can get a link to more information by CLICKING HERE
