In addition to the comfort-focused care provided by our interdisciplinary team, we have a 24-hour visiting policy (including pets), a family lounge area and the option of staying overnight with the patient.

St. Raphael’s team of physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers and spiritual care providers as well as volunteers collaborate to address the emotional, social and spiritual needs of the patients’ loved ones.

Trained volunteers provide companionship and support while patients are being cared for at St. Raphael’s. Optional bereavement support is offered to caregivers and loved ones for up to one year following a death.
