“This place was a home away from home with the love and care for my dad before he passed. The rooms are separate, quiet, and peacefully decorated and the staff is amazing. No rushing us, and reassuring us the doors are always open for us to return, grieve and visit. The amazing people there including the volunteers made us feel loved and apart of their family. Thank you for all you do!”

“Absolutely the best possible care is given to your loved one and amazing support for your family during these times. Our stay was 13 days and nothing but dignity and respect was shown.”

“Hospice Simcoe was there for my entire family including my precious Dad who passed away there this February. The gentleness, kindness, understanding of all those who serve there, from the volunteers, to the administration – it is an amazing place. This is a need that we certainly didn’t realize that needed to be filled – and Hospice Simcoe fills it beautifully.”

“My child felt supported and not alone while receiving bereavement support. It was great for them to see other kids going through the same thing & understand that grieving is natural. Thanks for everything that you do. You all go above and beyond.”

“Being at Hospice Simcoe with my mother saved us as a family. I finally was a daughter, a mother to my children , and could sleep better at night knowing she was checked constantly. The funny part was my mother loved hummingbirds and they are like the mascot of Hospice Simcoe – everything was like it was meant to be. A dream I had was to plan and host my parents renewing their vows which I was able to do there. She passed a day later, but the love we all felt in those moments were so amazing.”

“My father spent his last days in this amazing facility in April. Walking in the smell of fresh baking welcomes you. The staff are fabulous and seem to know exactly what grieving family members need. A very special place and extremely kind, thoughtful staff and volunteers. Thanks again for such wonderful care of my father.”

“What you do in this incredibly special place is beyond words and thoughts. Thank you from our hearts to each and every one of you. You’ve made the heartbreak and pain of loosing a parent a little easier with your compassion and care.”

“Even though one’s grief is one’s own journey and no one can live it for you, it was good to have the company of peers who can relate to your stages of sorrow and loss.”

“I feel I was able to heal/get control of my grief and bereavement through the 1:1 peer support. My facilitator was able to help me sort out of feelings/grief well.”
