Expanding Hospice Care in Niagara

Hospice palliative care is specialized care focused on relieving physical pain and suffering,
easing emotional distress, and helping people reflect on their lives, their legacies, and what matters most.

No one needs to do this alone. Hospice Niagara is here to help.

For more than 30 years, Hospice Niagara has worked toward a future where quality hospice palliative care is available to everyone who needs it.
As Niagara’s population ages and the need for specialized end-of-life care continues to grow, expanding access
to compassionate care close to home has never been more important.

With the Stabler Centre in St. Catharines and Maison Walker House in Welland, which opened in 2025,
Hospice Niagara is continuing this commitment through the development of Willson House in Fort Erie, scheduled to open in early 2027. 

Hospice Niagara continues to plan for a hospice serving Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake. Our application for additional hospice beds has received
the required initial approvals, including Ontario Health approval, and awaits final Ministry of Health approval. Our goal remains compassionate hospice
care closer to home, at no cost to individuals and families.

Each hospice will offer the warmth and comfort of home, with all the medical and emotional supports
people and families need and deserve
in the final days and weeks of life.

This campaign calls on the collective support of our community to help ensure people
and families across Niagara receive the care they need — everyone, everywhere, and every time.

 

The need is clear. And the time is NOW.

Care Closer to Home

Living with a life-limiting illness can be challenging not only for the person, but their circle of friends, family and people who care deeply for them.

Having convenient access to hospice palliative care close to home is good for everyone.

Walker House hospice will be located inside the renovated Foyer Richelieu, a bilingual long-term care home in Welland and Willson House hospice will be beside the new Gilmore Lodge long-term care home in Fort Erie.

Together with The Stabler Centre in St. Catharines, compassionate, exceptional care is no more than 20 minutes away.
