ABOUT OUR HOSPICE

The Roozen Family Hospice Centre
is Edmonton’s first residential community hospice.

A welcoming hub of support, the Roozen Family Hospice Centre provides a place of comfort and compassion, combining the best end-of-life care models from across the country. The Centre offers specialized person- and family-centred care from a homelike, community setting.

At the heart of the our hospice centre is a warm and family-friendly end-of-life residence with 12 suites for individuals in the final stages of life who do not require acute medical care. Open kitchen and dining, child play spaces, quiet rooms and dedicated living spaces allow residents to live fully, in their own unique way and on their own schedule, surrounded by loved ones and cared for by specialized professional staff and trained, supportive volunteers.

Integrated programs and services offer support to individuals, children, teens, families and community, including respite for caregivers, counselling for those experiencing loss and grief, and knowledgeable staff that can help answer any questions or concerns around end-of-life.

Differentiators of an integrated community hospice care model

What makes us different?

Complementary to the end-of-life support currently available in Edmonton, the Roozen Family Hospice Centre offers:

  • Comprehensive end-of-life care, from diagnosis through death and continuing through bereavement
  • A purpose-built facility that has the ambiance and comfort of a home rather than a hospital or institutional facility
  • Integrated services through programming that attends to both the ill person and their loved ones
  • Care for the whole person, addressing physical, emotional, psychosocial and spiritual needs through a multidisciplinary specialized team approach
