Creating a welcoming space
We are committed to creating a welcoming and safe environment for patients of Journey Home Hospice, and their family and friends. We use a person-centred approach, inviting patients and their loved ones to share their individual stories and life care goals as part of the care planning process. Additionally, we embrace a community development approach that engages people with lived experience to create an inclusive space that reflects the unique needs and journeys of our patients.
