Needs at the end-of-life

75% of Quebecers would prefer to die at home
Only 9.8% of deaths occur at home in Quebec

We want to make a difference

We want to provide end-of-life care that puts patient choice and family support first

An innovative
project

One step at a time, we are building compassionate care and services, including our Rapid Response Unit (RRU)

The three paths

Aux trois sentiers aims to offer new paths to meet a fundamental need of our aging population. Through three complementary components, we provide a continuum of specialized end-of-life care, offering patients an alternative to hospitalization.

Implementation sequence

Paths 1 and 2 are currently being implemented as part of a pilot project in partnership with the CHUM and the CIUSSS West-Central Montreal / Jewish General Hospital

Path 1 – The Rapid Response Unit (RRU) brings together a team of compassionate caregivers who provide all necessary end-of-life care at home for those wishing to avoid hospitalization.

Path 2 – A continuum of care and support for patients and caregivers, offering respite and complementary care to ease this life transition. Learn more

Path 3 – The envisioned opening of a Home that will accompany people through the final stage of life, offering short stays for symptom stabilization during the palliative phase and much-needed respite for their loved ones. It will also serve as a center of expertise and learning, dedicated to training and supporting healthcare professionals.
