Hospice is about living with dignity, not “giving up.” Across Canada, hospices provide comfort, privacy and care alternatives to crowded hospitals, especially in Ontario. Omland Hospitality designs these spaces with compassion, functionality and durability.
The Purpose of Hospice
- ✔️ Residential hospices (home-like centres)
- ✔️ At home, through visiting hospice programs
- ✔️ In hospitals, long-term care, or community settings
Average hospice residence: 12 beds, ~200 patients/year, often at full capacity. CIHI
Growing Need in Canada
- ✔️ 7.6M Canadians aged 65+ (2023) – 19% population. StatsCan
- ✔️ By 2030: seniors 21–23% of population. StatsCan
- ✔️ Next 20 years: seniors population to grow 2/3. CIHI
- ✔️ Hospice beds: 3.97/100k vs recommended 7/100k Canadian Cancer Society
Why Canadians Need Hospice Care
- ✔️ Aging Population: More Canadians live with chronic, life-limiting conditions.
- ✔️ Hospital Pressure: Hospices reduce avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations.
- ✔️ Care Close to Home: Home-like environment surrounded by family.
- ✔️ Family Support: Grief groups, bereavement programs, and quiet reflection spaces.
