VALUABLE ADDITION: In Home Hospice Service chairperson Maureen Klintberg outside the planned headquarters at Mount Gambier s 10 Bay Road complex.
VOLUNTEERS are being sought to help deliver an In Home Hospice Care (IHHC) service in Mount Gambier, supporting residents to spend their end-of-life days at home.
The new Mount Gambier service aims to fill identified gaps in existing services, with in-home care provided by specially trained volunteers to enable terminally ill people, who would prefer to die at home, the option of compassionate, person and family-centred care in their home setting.
The service will be the key focus of a community forum on March 1 at Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre, which will feature guest speakers from the Warnnambool and District Community Hospice (WDCH) which has been operational since 2016 and has been used as a model for the Mount Gambier program.
