Hospices throughout Ontario help people with life-threatening illnesses live at home as comfortably and fully as possible. The focus is on caring, not cur- ing, and on life, not death. Hospice care also extends to friends and family members, helping them to care for their loved one and for them- selves during times of grief. Community based and volunteer dri- ven, hospices provide care, free of charge, for people in their place of resi- dence. North Durham Hospice also provides care for patients at Lakeridge Health Uxbridge and Port Perry. The hospice is now taking orders for Autumn Corms which are particularly hardy this year.
