Palliative care services like VON Sakura House are getting more funds.
WOODSTOCK - The Government of Ontario is growing Oxford's access to palliative care through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care.
This move is part of Ontario's $147.4 million investment over three years in communities across the province to provide more people with comfortable palliative care closer to home.
MPP for Oxford, Ernie Hardeman released a statement about the investment.
"I'm pleased that VON Sakura House is going to receive a portion of this important palliative care funding... the wonderful services provided by Sakura House support patients and their families with 24/7 nursing and personal support service in a setting that's like being at home."
Some of the services that this money will help is:
Grief and bereavement supports that help families and caregivers who are grieving the loss of a loved one; Advance care planning to help patients and families prepare for future health care decisions; and Perinatal palliative care programs that provide specialized grief, bereavement, and peer support that help parents prepare for the loss of their infant.
This investment will not only provide new palliative care services but also give money to existing residential hospice beds.
