Supporting Your Family with Grace and Dignity

Local FAQ for Medicine Hat Families
Q: Do you provide palliative care in local hospitals or hospices? A: While our primary focus is providing care in the comfort of your own home, we can often provide supplemental "private pay" companionship and support to clients at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital or local long-term care facilities.
Q: Can you help if my loved one is already signed up with AHS Palliative Home Care? A: Yes. We often work as an "extra layer" of support. While AHS nurses handle the medical/clinical side, Pine Well caregivers provide the consistent, hour-by-hour personal care and companionship that fills the gaps.
