About Us

Who we are

Centurion Care Centre — formerly known as Centurion Hospice — is a community-driven centre rooted in Centurion. We bring people together to give, receive and share care.

24/7 Care

Our core service: round-the-clock care

At the heart of Centurion Care Centre is specialised 24/7 palliative and home base care — delivered with empathy, dignity and deep understanding for both patients and the families walking alongside them.

24/7 Care

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialised medical care for people facing life-limiting and life-threatening illness — including cancer, heart failure, lung disease, kidney failure, Alzheimer's, HIV/AIDS and more. It focuses on relieving symptoms and stress to improve quality of life for both the patient and their family.

Our team works alongside your other doctors to manage pain and symptoms, provide emotional and spiritual support, aid in communication and decision-making, and connect you with helpful resources. Palliative care is for anyone at any stage of a life-limiting or life-threatening illness and can be received alongside curative treatments.

Unlike hospice care, which is for those nearing the end of life, palliative care can begin much earlier. Our care is rooted in empathy and deep understanding — going beyond physical symptoms to nurture comfort, dignity and the highest possible quality of life.

24/7 Care

What is Home Base Care?

Home Base care offers temporary relief for primary caregivers of those with ongoing needs due to illness, disability or aging. It gives caregivers a chance to rest and recharge — which is vital for their well-being.

Home Base care can take the form of in-home care or a short stay in a care facility. It benefits caregivers by reducing stress, and the people being cared for by providing a gentle change of pace in a warm, supportive environment.

We offer flexible home base care services to support the dedicated caregivers in our community.
