Services are defined by the 
Act Respecting End-of-Life Care. It ensures that persons at the end of life can have access to quality care and support to suit their situation in the final stage of life, particularly by preventing and relieving suffering.
Palliative care and en-of-life care aim at reducing symptoms and maintaining physical and psychological comfort for people at the end of life, at home or at a residential resource.
CLSCs offer oncological palliative care to pre-terminally and terminally-ill patients who wish to remain at home for as long as possible.

Depending on the person needs and wants, she might be guided towards an appropriate resource, namely a palliative care home in our region.
