A vision of the Society is to secure a full range of health and wellness services for the communities of the South Shuswap. Also known as the South Shuswap Health Services Society there are many senior services provided:
The South Shuswap Hospice Society (formerly known as The Sorrento and District Hospice Society) has served
the Sorrento District since 1985.
Our group of volunteers offer a variety of assistance for individuals that have been incapacitated and in need of medical aide equipment through our Equipment Loan Program.
We will also be providing hospice services that include in home respite for caregivers, end of life care, individual and group grief support.
We are a non profit, charitable society that relies on community volunteers and fundraising support.
Together with people with lived experience, we mobilize a broad community of care and support research into the disease to ensure people affected by dementia are not alone.
Home and community care facilities provide a range of health care and support services for eligible residents who have acute, chronic, palliative or rehabilitative health care needs. These services are designed to complement and supplement, but not replace the efforts of individuals to care for themselves with the assistance of family, friends and community.
The range of services includes home based services such as assessment and case management, nursing, rehabilitation, home support and palliative care.
