The Residential Hospice

The Hospice House for North Hastings provides 24/7 end-of-life care to individuals and families from our surrounding areas during their final days of life. Our program is an alterative to hospital admission and the care is based on patient needs. Families and caregivers are encouraged to participate in the life and care of the patients, and are also welcome to stay at the Hospice House with their loved ones around the clock.

The Hospice House for North Hastings was the first “Rural” Residential Hospice in all of Ontario, providing 24/7 “end of life” care to individuals and families from our surrounding areas. This “Showpiece of Community Spirit” was purchased, renovated, and operates, with no charge to individuals, thanks in whole to donations from our community and funding from the Ministry of Health & Long Term Care through the SE Local Health Integration Network.
