About Airdrie and District Hospice Society

A charitable organization which exists to help citizens of Airdrie and District through the journey of dying and grief. We are a necessary resource for those who wish to die where they live, for loved ones living a healthy , happy life which in turn support the health of our community.

How We Can Help

Palliative Care Companions – Specially trained volunteers who can provide a few hours of respite so caregivers can tend to their own needs, such as going shopping or attending an appointment. (Volunteers cannot provide medical care, but they can sit with a person and keep them company.)

Compassionate Care Fund – Certain medications, aids to daily living, and transportation to visit loved ones in hospice might not be covered by Alberta Health. We might be able to help you with some of these costs courtesy of the Compassionate Care Fund.

Grief Support Groups – We offer 6-week adult grief support groups four times per year, free of charge. Facilitators are specially trained to provide a supportive and safe environment to share your grief.

Navigating The System – We can help you learn what services are available to you in the community through all stages before and after a death.

Education Sessions – Sessions include: Wills, Powers of Attorney, Personal Directives – What they Are; Cooking for One After A Loss; Coping With Grief Over the Holidays; and Goals of Care.
