Enhancing Quality of Life Through Emotional Support & Practical Assistance

Transitions is a volunteer-driven program to increase the quality of life for those facing a life threatening illness or injury, with a prognosis of 12 months or less.

Unlike hospice care, people can access Transitions services when they are undergoing curative treatment. There is no requirement that a client transfer to hospice at any time. The choice of support services is always completely up to the client and caregivers.

Let the Transitions program take you by the hand and—

Clarify your options and translate them into language that makes sense to you.
Connect you to community services and resources.
Meet your needs on your terms.

The Transitions Coordinator and volunteers provide support so that the focus can be on enjoying every precious moment.
