Professional Nursing Services

VON provides 24 hour a day service. A professional nurse and manager are on call 24 hours a day to provide urgent services to clients outside of regular working hours.

• Palliative Care Program VON understands just how devastating the diagnosis of a potentially non-curable illness can be, not only to the person with the illness but also to his/her family and caregivers. At VON, we have nurses with specialized training in Oncology (care of clients living with cancer) and Palliative Care (nursing with a focus on promoting optimum quality of life at all stages of a non-curable illness). We are committed to providing care and compassion and the most up to date knowledge and skills available. We understand that in these circumstances only the best will do.

Our Palliative Care Team’s goal is to provide optimum knowledge to all nurses at VON in matters of pain control, symptom management, and on-going support of the client, family and/or caregivers. This is achieved through active participation with Cancer Care Ontario, the Palliative Pain and Symptom Management Programs through the Ministry of Health, the Quinte Regional Integrated Palliative Care Team and focus groups in the community.

VON Palliative Care nurses also collaborate with the client and caregivers to provide client-focused care. Any individual faced with a life threatening illness can be confident that the care they receive from VON will include ongoing concern for their physical comfort and emotional well-being as well as ongoing compassionate support to the client, family and/or caregivers, thereby greatly enhancing quality of life for those involved.

Services may be paid by the provincial health plan, insurance companies, or on a private pay basis.
