Victoria Hospice works in partnership with Home & Community Care Nurses. These nurses are responsible for initial registration of our patients and ongoing coordination of care at home. Patients may register with us before actually requiring services. If a patient does not have a Home Care Nurse, the family physician can request a Home & Community Care Nurse home visit. If a family physician does not mention hospice palliative care, people in Greater Victoria wishing to explore this option can access community resources such as the Vancouver Island Health Authority General Enquiries toll-free telephone line: 1 888 533-CARE (2273) or the Victoria Hospice Community Office (250) 370-8715 (Hours 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, Monday – Friday).
