Welcome to Hospice
Everyone matters at St. Joseph’s Hospice.
Our patients, their caregivers and families are at the heart of everything we do.
How Are We Funded?
St. Joseph’s Hospice is blessed with the support of a caring community – but we need your help.
We must raise $1.3 million every year – $100,000 per month – $3,333 per day to continue providing compassionate care for our community.
100% of the care and support we provide is at no cost to patients, clients and their families.
Receiving only 50 percent of our operating funds from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, we rely on donations from our community to fund the remaining 50 percent. As the need for hospice palliative care continues to grow, we depend on the generosity of our community to invest in our programs and services.
What does the impact of your gift look like to those living with a palliative illness, their family, caregivers and the bereaved?
Compassionate Care
Resident care is the top priority. Your gift helps cover the cost of personal care products, medical equipment, supplies and furnishings for the Hospice home.
Home-like Hospitality
Your gift gives residents nutritious and delicious food including snacks and coffee for their families, kitchen supplies, and equipment.
Connected and Comfortable
Your gift helps keep residents comfortable and connected by covering the cost of utilities, cable, and wireless internet.
Safety and Security
Your gift helps cover the cost of laundry and housekeeping, ongoing maintenance, safety, and security.
Each time you donate, attend a fundraising event or pledge a gift, you make certain St. Joseph’s Hospice continues to provide compassion, dignity, and respect for those we serve in our residence and in the community.
With every gift, you make us better.
