Bringing Love, Comfort, and Uplifting Moments in Hospice

At Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society, we work closely with the hospice in our community to provide compassionate, non-medical support for individuals with progressive, life-limiting illnesses. Our focus is on love, comfort, support, and creating uplifting moments during these end-of-life months.

Our dedicated volunteers play an essential role. From playing the piano for residents and families, to offering friendly visits, quiet companionship, or sitting down to do puzzles and activities with family members, they help bring warmth, joy, and meaningful connection to residents and their loved ones.

We also maintain a Comfort Care Cart at the hospice, stocked with items to enhance residents’ comfort and well-being. With ongoing support from our friends at Bear Creek Funeral Home , the cart is always ready to provide small comforts, thoughtful touches, and practical items that brighten daily life.

By working alongside hospice staff, our volunteers ensure that residents feel cared for, families are supported, and each day is filled with moments of love, comfort, and uplifting connection.

Palliative Care at Any Age: Bringing Quality of Life, Joy, and Support

Palliative care isn’t just for older adults or the final stages of life. At Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society, we provide non-medical support for anyone living with a progressive, life-limiting illness—at any age.

Our goal is to bring comfort, joy, and quality of life to those facing a palliative diagnosis. We offer practical help, emotional support, and guidance to individuals and families, helping them navigate the challenges of living with a life-limiting illness. From connecting you with community resources to providing companionship and support in day-to-day life, we focus on what matters most to you.

Whether you are a young adult or senior, we’re here to help you live as fully as possible with dignity, comfort, and joy beyond medical treatments.

🌻 A Wonderful Day of Creativity & Connection! 🌻

At the Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society, we had the absolute joy of hosting a volunteer crafting day — and what a beautiful turnout it was!

Volunteers from all corners of our programs came together: Pen Pals, Friendly Visitors, and more. Many had never met in person, but today was filled with laughter, conversation, and meaningful connection.

Together, we spent the afternoon painting watercolour sunflowers, each one as unique as the volunteers who bring so much heart to our society. Watching everyone share stories, learn new skills, and simply enjoy each other’s company was truly special.

To our incredible volunteers — thank you for the light, love, and time you give so generously. You make a difference every single day, and today we got to celebrate you.

🌼 ABNW Palliative Care Society—where community, compassion, and creativity grow. 🌼
