In Canada, the cost of dying varies not only by cause but by where people die: on average it costs $36,000 to die in a chronic care facility, compared to $16,000 to die at home. Hospices provide a more home-like experience, while costing only about $439 per patient a day, compared to $850 to $1,000 in a hospital bed. (Cost-effectiveness of Palliative Care, Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association).
Care-giving costs of palliative care at a home setting can be as little as $46/day, when family members are involved and the costs of the same care at hospice settings are never less that around $142/day.
