A 10-bed residential hospice facility is one step closer to reality for the Greater Moncton area says Tradina Meadowns-Forgeron.
The executive director of Hospice Greater Moncto said it's a dream that's been 14 years in the making.
"This is an opportunity for people to have a better quality of life towards their end of life journey," Meadows-Forgeron said.
The Humphrey Lewisville Sunny Brae Lions Club has donated 2.2 hectares of land in the Lewisville area.
The province has committed funding for a clinical care team.
Finance Minister Cathy Rogers said an investment of $1,082,264 over two years will go toward the hiring of an on-site licensed practical nurse and personal support workers who will be supported by the Extra-Mural Program interdisciplinary team.
Rogers said the funding is included in the current budget.
The plan is to build a 10-bed facility, which is expected to cost $4.5 million.
Meadows-Forgeron said the facility will provide a more home-like atmosphere for people at the end of their lives.

This is so badly needed in Moncton.
These people do stunningly amazing work that no one else wants to do (with a few exceptions.)
I hope people will seriously consider donating to this when they consider which organizations they might wish to give to.
You fight the good fight for as long as it is reasonable, but when it becomes obvious that the end is in sight and nothing can be done about it, then the focus should switch to making the patient as happy and comfortable as possible for whatever time he/she has left.
As someone who has watched a large percentage of his older relatives, and a small amount of Younger ones as well Die in Hospital. I'm not bashing the system but this would make it better. The staff at the hospital where so nice, and accommodating about palliative care but also had a short time to spend per patient because it's a hospital, and you get called here, there, and everywhere.
I think this will be a great project, and will be better for those who are in some ways hanging on to life by a thread as my grandfather put it while ion his death bed.
I am not sure if this is the norm these days, but with all the construction on 15, my brother left his place at 6:00 pm and it took an hour to get to Parlee beach last night from the OLD west end of Moncton.

The more people that commute to and from Kent County/Shediac to Moncton the busier it will get, construction or not. This is what happens when your city grows and sprawls.

Yes it is the norm during evenings, and weekends especially + the construction does not help with Traffic.
There is still the fight over several new campgrounds in, and around Shediac as well if these do get built (Anywhere from 200-1500 sites) it will be even worst.
