Chatham-Kent Hospice Our mission is to provide care that changes how families live the important experiences near the end of life. Welcome

Welcome to Chatham-Kent Hospice!

At Chatham-Kent Hospice we are here to help families make the most of the time they have together. We are honoured to serve our residents and their families at the most difficult time in their life. We believe that hospice is not about dying – it is about living. Our focus is to help our residents live each day with dignity and honour by providing compassionate, end-of-life care in a home-like setting. Our residential hospice offers 10 private suites designed to perform like a hospital but feel like home. Additional spaces in the hospice include bereavement support area, resource library and meeting rooms. The overall design allows us the flexibility to grow and play a role in developing a centre of learning for healthcare providers and the families of Chatham-Kent. The Chatham-Kent Hospice will:
• support residents as they deal with end-of-life challenges
• offer a loving and supportive atmosphere so family and friends can say good-bye
• deliver specialized care from compassionate staff and volunteers
• provide comprehensive, coordinated hospice care for everyone at no cost
• make available grief counseling and other forms of therapy

Join us for Give As You Go on Thursday, February 5th at the Active Lifestyle Centre in Chatham. This free and educational evening (with complimentary snacks and coffee! 🍪☕) demonstrates how thoughtful and easy estate and planned giving can be and how it creates a lasting impact in our community.

Hear from three local trusted industry experts as they walk through:
➡️ Why having a Will matters—and how easily a charitable gift can be included
➡️ Leaving your legacy to your family AND your community or charities of choice
➡️ Financial options for supporting charities through estate planning
➡️ The tax advantages of leaving a charitable gift
➡️ Gifts of securities (investments, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.) and appreciated assets including real estate
➡️ Adding to local Donor Driven Funds that benefit several local charities
➡️ How insurance can be used to make a meaningful legacy gift
➡️ And more...

A future gift to local charities can make a profound difference for generations to come - and it’s much more simple than you might imagine.

🎺💛 Horns for Hospice – Thank You! 🎶💙

A special thank you to the organizers, performers, supporters, volunteers and attendees of this year's Horns for Hospice fundraiser at The Fortress Tavern X . This year's holiday spectacular raised an event record $7,295 for Chatham-Kent Hospice! Proceeds came through ticket sales, raffles and a generous donation from RM Sotheby's.

The annual concert has become a holiday staple and continues to increase its support for local hospice services and families.

"It was truly a special night–filled with music, community, and love–honouring a place that means so much to so many of us," provided the event organizers. "Chatham-Kent Hospice holds a very special place in our hearts, and seeing the support from our community was incredibly moving. Thank you again to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and supported this event in any way. Your kindness and compassion made this night unforgettable."

We are incredibly grateful to Chatham Kent Community Foundation for a $10,000 grant in support of food for our hospice kitchen. 💙

This generous funding will help ensure our patients and their families receive nourishing, comforting meals during some of life’s most tender moments. Food is more than sustenance here—it’s care, dignity, and love served daily.

Thank you for investing in compassion and helping us continue to provide meaningful comfort when it matters most.
