Kemp Care Network

Inspired by the vision of Dr. Bob Kemp, the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice compassionately serves the emotional, physical, social and spiritual needs of individuals living with a progressive life-limiting illness from the time of diagnosis until the end of life at no cost to individuals and their families. They support the patient, their bereaved and the community through their residential, outreach and bereavement programs. Their interdisciplinary team of specially trained volunteers and staff provide social, physical, emotional and spiritual support. Support is provided through several programs: Visiting support; Day Respite; Bereavement for adults and children; resources; and, advocacy. They also have a 10 bed residential hospice.
