Integrated Wellness Services
At Carpenter Hospice, we believe in supporting the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
It’s time to focus on you—let us help.
The integrative wellness program at Carpenter Hospice offers a variety of programs that focus on the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental wellness of program participants.
Programming includes functional strength sessions, social gatherings, yoga, and other complementary therapies (e.g., reiki, therapeutic touch, etc.). In addition, we offer one-on-one caregiver counselling sessions with a registered social worker.
These services, which complement traditional medicine, are offered to individuals with a palliative prognosis and their unpaid caregivers.
We offer programming in the community as well as at the Hospice, and we hope these programs provide an opportunity for some respite with your day.
Complementary Therapies are offered in conjunction with conventional medical and psychosocial treatments to enhance quality of life by supporting the management of pain and other symptoms, reducing stress, and promoting physical and emotional well-being.
Complementary therapists undergo extensive training and certification in their chosen method.
All of the complementary therapies offered by Carpenter Hospice are provided by volunteers who undergo screening, training and are overseen by our Volunteer & Wellness Coordinator. Availability and type of wellness services offered will vary based on the availability of practitioners and volunteers.

Carpenter Hospice has helped me through the toughest of times after losing my father. The care and compassion they all provided was incredible and I will never forget it.
