Hospice of Waterloo Region

Founded in 1993, Hospice of Waterloo Region (Hospice of Waterloo) provides palliative hospice care to people in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. It follows a “whole person” model of care in its activities, meaning that it works to improve the quality of life for not just its patients, but also for caregivers and family members. Hospice of Waterloo states in its F2019 annual report that the number of seniors requiring care is set to double over the next 15 years and more than 8 million Canadians provide informal care to loved ones, of which one in ten spend more than 30 hours per week providing care.
