HOSPICE HEART STORIES

Building a Home for the Ones We Love

On Father’s Day morning, dad called me from his hospital bed after a tough night and said, “I think I am ready to go to hospice now – the launchpad to heaven”. We were able to move him that day, and it was the last Father’s Day gift I would give to him. We shared lots of memories and had many parties over the next two weeks while he lived a full life in Room 1. 

Almost eight years to the day after my father was admitted, my mom was admitted to the same hospice room that dad lived in. We all felt relief that she was there, as did she. It was like going home.

What Your Donations Are Used For:

The chart below gives you an idea of the other expenses we must cover from fundraising revenue.

  • Residential Hospice Care

    Your donation will help cover the cost of things like personal care products, medical equipment, groceries, utilities and other supplies for our residents who call Hospice home.

  • End-of-Life Care Coordination

    Navigating the health care system can be hard. Your donation will help connect people to local services at the time of diagnosis. This can include in-home supports or, eventually, residential hospice care.

  • Grief & Bereavement Support

    Support of care for residents, their loved ones, and the CK Community in the form of one-on-one, group counselling by registered social workers, spiritual care, and music therapy.

  • Education and Awareness

    Ongoing staff and volunteer training ensures the highest level of care. Sharing our work with the community lets people know we are there to support them in their time of need.

  • Business as Usual

    Although we want our hospice to feel like home to our residents, and be a refuge for those grieving, we must operate as a business. Your donation will cover costs such as accounting, human resources, purchasing, office equipment, supplies and insurance.

  • Volunteers

    To make the most of your donation we support a robust volunteer program that includes orientation, ongoing training, support and appreciation.
