A palliative day centre is an establishment that offers early palliative care to those suffering from an incurable illness in the progressive phase, as well as to caregivers and bereaved individuals. Day centres offer a range of psychosocial, therapeutic, and recreational care and services, as well as respite, in a welcoming environment. The care and support provided to ill individuals and their loved ones by a day centre much earlier in the trajectory of the illness can help improve the quality of life and encourage home care. This approach has already proven effective elsewhere in the world. Although there are several day centres in the province of Quebec, we are the first one on the island of Montreal.
