At Kemp Care Network, we understand that children and youth experience grief differently from adults. We offer a safe place for various grief programs designed with child development in mind. Through therapeutic play, art, crafts, storytelling, children and youth can learn to understand, express, and cope with their grief.
We are thrilled to announce that Kemp Care Network has successfully achieved HPCO Accreditation for our In-Home Hospice and Grief & Bereavement Support Programs!
This accreditation ensures the delivery of consistent, high-quality hospice palliative care across all accredited programs and services in the province. Being recognized by HPCO signifies that we meet industry standards and have undergone a rigorous peer review process.
This achievement reflects our dedication to excellence, continuous learning, and ongoing improvement. Thank you to everyone involved in making this milestone possible!
