Comfort Keepers Ottawa & Kanata Joins Hike for Hospice Supporting Compassionate End-of-Life Care
Senior In-Home Care | June 16, 2025
At Comfort Keepers® Home Care in Ottawa & Kanata, Ontario, we are proud to support community-driven organizations that share our mission of enhancing quality of life.
This year, we were honoured to have our Care Coordinator, Sarah, and her family represent Comfort Keepers at Hospice Care Ottawa’s annual Hike for Hospice—a heartfelt event that brings together the community in solidarity and hope.
Supporting Hospice Care Ottawa’s Mission
Hospice Care Ottawa (HCO) is a charitable, community-centred organization that provides compassionate palliative and end-of-life care to individuals in Ottawa facing life-limiting illnesses. Their services begin the moment a life-altering diagnosis is received, and they continue to provide unwavering support throughout the palliative journey.
From in-home support to Day Hospice programs and 24/7 residential care across three hospice residences, HCO ensures that clients and their families are never alone. Their work is not only medical in nature—it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. They offer grief and bereavement support, caregiver respite, and a comforting presence through life’s most difficult moments.
Comfort Keepers’ Commitment to Compassionate Home Care
At Comfort Keepers Ottawa & Kanata, we understand how vital accessible, personalized care is for seniors and families navigating aging, illness, and caregiving responsibilities. Much like Hospice Care Ottawa, our mission is to provide holistic, client-focused care that enhances well-being and preserves dignity. Our participation in the Hike for Hospice reflects this shared commitment.
Sarah, our care coordinator, described the event as “an inspiring reminder of the strength and compassion that exists in our community. It was deeply moving to walk alongside families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals united by one purpose: to honour and support those at the end of life.”
