Prairie Hospice Society is a registered non-profit charity committed to enhancing the quality of life for persons in Saskatoon who are facing advancing illness, death, and bereavement. Our Mission is working to ensure access to compassionate, community based, end of life support wherever people call home, and our purpose is to enhance quality of life at end of life. This is provided through our volunteers, free of charge to the clients.
Prairie Hospice provides 3 services to clients and families
1. We provide the service “Hospice Without Walls” offering non-medical care, including
practical and emotional support, to terminally ill clients and their families. Volunteers
perform a myriad of tasks depending on the needs, capacities, and desires of the clients.
These tasks include such things as companionship, socialization, and transportation.
Hospice Without Walls is “being there where the client is, walking with them on their
journey”.
2. Hospice Now is our quick response service. This service provides clients/families with
urgent respite to provide the caregiver some time away and transportation for the client
to appointment and treatments.
3. Bereavement support is offered to the family/friend after the death of the client if they
are interested, for up to one year. This is friendly support, not professional counselling.
