  • “I highly recommend Dignity at Home. Patrick is very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. He provided us with a consult for palliative care. He helped us navigate the difficult system of Home Care and advocated for us to receive the assistance that we were entitled to. His support during this very difficult time was immeasurable. I am very grateful for all his support. Thank you Patrick.”

    Pam JD

  • “Should you ever need help with palliative care you want Patrick Garbutt by your side. It would be the kindest request you could make for your loved one. We brought my Mom home for her final days and we could not have done so without the help of Patrick. Patrick was professional and treated Mom with respect and dignity. He played music and sang to her! Not only was he there for Mom but he supported the family as well. We cannot imagine having gone through this process without him. I have read and support every review written here, as they represent Patrick’s true character and nature.”

When my mother was in Arnprior hospital (and her being a nurse for over 35 years) thought you were the best in caring, personal attention, and being involved with the patient.

Thx Pat!“
