The Townsend Smith Foundation is a charitable organization working to build North Halton’s first hospice residence. This hospice will provide 24-hour palliative care for individuals living with a life-limiting illness, support services for those individuals’ loved ones, and community services. The foundation is currently sourcing viable sites to build a hospice, raising funds through events and generous donors, and bringing awareness to the need for a hospice in our community.

Dying is a part of living and as we die, we are still the same person, and that person needs their family, friends and community. The need for palliative care will touch every family in our community at some point; having the right facilities and infrastructure in place with a hospice residence is necessary to ensure families can spend time with their loved one instead of driving out of town, worrying about care and pain management, and feeling isolated from their support network. The hospice will provide a calm, peaceful, home-like environment where individuals with life-limiting illness, as well as their families and loved ones, are supported through the resident’s final stages of life.

To provide individualized care based on trust, integrity and personal choice offering physical, social, emotional and spiritual support in a comfortable and compassionate environment, recognizing that residents are in their final journey and need comfort and kindness.

Donate. Volunteer. Connect with us. Together we will build a hospice.
