Palliative Care
Trained as an RN, Amber has practiced as a Paediatric Palliative Nurse at Alberta Children's Hospital as well as a Community and Hospital based Palliative Nurse for the adult population. She created and owns a private In-Home Palliative Care company employing RN's, LPN's and HCA's to serve Central Albertan's who wish to palliate at home.
The Dream
CAPC was born out of a dream to build a hospice for Central Albertans.
​
Set in rural Alberta with several acres for flowers, foliage, a garden, and pond.
The Hospice will be surrounded by farm land, allowing those who wish to palliate with us the opportunity to view the seasons in their fullest. They will be able to watch as farmers plant the crops or harvest their bounty.
There will be stalls to facilitate bringing beloved animals for comfort.
There will be a kitchen for gathering around a large island or sitting to enjoy a traditional meal.
This will be a hospice that replicates many of the homes and lives lived by rural folk.
This will be a hospice built by Central Albertan's for Central Albertan's.
​
With such a grand dream in mind, there needed to be a way to begin to accumulate the necessary funds, while beginning to care for the community now, not just when a hospice is built.
As such, CAPC was created.

The Care
​
When the last breath is on the horizon, people often identify where they would be most comfortable. For some people it is going home from the hospital for a few hours to feed their horse one last time, for others it is to be surrounded by their family and friends in their home. Often this time of transition is accompanied with medical needs, making it difficult to provide the comfort and refuge experienced outside of a hospital.
At Central Alberta Palliative Care we strive to provide the care required to balance both medical needs and the needs of the heart to facilitate a peaceful and wholistic end-of-life experience.
Whether you want 24/7 care, a few hours a day, or a one time experience, CAPC collaborates with you to find and provide the best care, tailored to the entire family unit.
