A community of dedicated caregivers
Join our caring community
The Residence is always looking for people with a heart of gold and a smile that can light up a room! We rely on more than 300 carefully chosen and trained volunteers who provide 29,000+ hours of palliative care per year.
Our incredible volunteers assist with every non-medical aspect of care, from greeting families and delivering meals, to spending time with patients and supporting grieving families.
For more information or to sign up as a volunteer, please contact Debbie Elvidge, Volunteer Program Manager, delvidge@tdpcr.ca or 514 693-1718 ext. 264.
“Everyone’s life deserves to be extraordinary towards the end.”

The Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence was founded in 2002 and is the first facility of its kind on the island of Montreal. Since then, the Residence has grown with the community and provided exceptional palliative care to over 6,500 patients and their families.
