Most people who know they are near death would prefer to die at home or in a home environment. Currently, hospice and community programs that allow such options are being established in some provinces. However, these programs are relatively new and in short supply. The reality is that palliative care in acute care settings will continue, and most people will die in hospitals and institutions.
