TORONTO - Cash-strapped hospices in Ontario say the province needs to boost their annual funding because cost increases that began at the start of the pandemic have not eased.
“They haven’t decreased the funding, but the costs have gone up that much,” said Rick Firth, the president and CEO of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, which also accredits Ontario’s hospices. “We have significantly more clients. The fundraising requirement for this hospice was $1-million a year, however, during the pandemic we doubled in size. This year it’s $1.6 million. So year after year, it just keeps creeping up.”
“The primary caregiver of that client is usually a son, a daughter, a grandchild and they have their own lives. So our ability to send a volunteer for a couple of hours just allows the caregiver to take a breath, do their own thing that they need to do for their life,” Gardiner said.
