The challenge of facing a life-limiting or palliative diagnosis involves living with uncertainty while still wanting to maintain meaningful control over whatever may lie ahead. At Victoria Hospice we try to help you find a way through the overwhelming emotional physical and practical realities of living/coping with your illness. We want to help you and your family address what is most important - symptoms care needs spiritual worries financial concerns etc. We hope to reach a level of comfort that allows you and your loved ones to make the most of whatever time remains.Our goal is to help you focus on living with your illness rather than dying from your illness.

Our values are the foundation of our culture and our working environment. Through them we remain focused on maintaining a patient and family-centred caring work environment.
