Description of Organization

Assisi Hospice provides palliative care for patients and families that preserves their dignity and quality of life. Patients of any race, faith and financial position are cared for by our team of specialist doctors, nurses, allied health and pastoral care professionals. When faced with life limiting illnesses, our patients receive medical care, as well as psychosocial, emotional and spiritual care. Assisi Hospice provides care for patients across the continuum of Home Care, Inpatient and Day Care. This allows patients and family members to journey with a clinical team they are familiar with, and to receive care in the way that they need. Our six-storey purpose-built hospice provides a homely ambience with cosy spaces for patients and their loved ones. With 85 Inpatient beds, including specialised wards for Dementia Palliative Care and Paediatric Palliative Care, a Day Care Centre and the outreach of our Home Care team, we serve more than 2,000 patients a year.

 

Intended use of funds through the YFC 2023 programme

The fund will be used to support the care that we provide for the patients.

 

Engaging and involving the YFC participants

We can invite the YFC teams to Assisi Hospice for a orientation plus a tour to understand our operation and service provided and also the possibility to volunteer a day at our daycare to interact with our patients depending on the team availability.
