The Hospice was better than we could have imagined on every level and we were so grateful to them for allowing my dad to pass in such a dignified and comfortable manner.

Hospice Wellington is a volunteer-supported organization that offers exceptional support to people living with the challenges of a life-limiting illness or loss. Our ten-bed residential hospice provides an at-home experience and care with privacy, comfort and dignity to the end of life. All of our services, including respite care and emotional support, are free of charge. This is made possible by the generous donations that we receive from community members, volunteers, local partners, as well as government funding.
Roughly 44% of the annual Hospice Wellington budget is supported by individual community donations. We rely on the generosity of the community in order to offer the services that we do, and greatly appreciate gifts of all sizes.To learn more about the programs offered by Hospice Wellington, please click here. To see our Wish List of items that we regularly use to ensure a warm experience for our residents, please click here. Donations can be made online here, dropped off at the Community Services desk at Hospice Wellington, or made over the phone by calling 519-836-3921.
We support individuals with a life-limiting illness through one-to-one support, support groups, in-home palliative services and end-of-life compassionate care in our residence.
Caring for an individual with a life-limiting illness can be hard. We offer wellness services, one-to-one support and support groups to help you care for your loved one, while caring for yourself.
Grief is a normal reaction to loss. Our grief and bereavement services include wellness services, one-to-one support and support groups, including support for adults, families and children.
We rely heavily on donations to support our programs and services, but also on the commitment and hard work of our many volunteers.

I think of my experience at Hospice Wellington “like a warm nest” built by the love of a caring community; there to house and nurture the weak in need of shelter. The nest surrounds the dying and their family, providing a place to be cared for, to sustain and keep us, until our loved ones fly away. Having had time in the nest leaves us strong enough to fly on our own…
