Not everyone knows what a hospice residence really is — or that hospice residence support individuals and their loved ones too.

A hospice residence is a homelike setting where people receive 24-hour care during their final weeks of life. These spaces provide comfortable rooms, peaceful environments, and professional medical support. Hospice residences focus on creating a warm atmosphere where loved ones can spend meaningful time together. Care is provided by nurses, doctors, personal support workers, social workers, spiritual care staff and trained volunteers. Most importantly, there is no cost to patients or families for this care in Ontario.

Staff and volunteers at a hospice residence are alongside patients and loved ones through the end-of-life, ensuring comfort, dignity, and expert support.

Nearly all of us will face the end-of-life needing support. Neshama Hospice will be North York's first hospice residence, offering care that is timely, personal, and rooted in human dignity — meeting a need our community has waited too long for.

None of this happens without you. To our incredible donors and supporters: your generosity is laying the foundation for something that will bring comfort and peace to hundreds of families each year. Thank you.

At Neshama Hospice we will transform end-of-life into an opportunity for presence, connection, and the relationships that define us.

If you'd like to be part of making that possible, please consider donating at neshamahospice.com

March marks National Social Work Month, and at Neshama Hospice, we recognize the steady presence behind so many meaningful moments in hospice care: social workers.

Social workers don’t just provide support through end-of-life care. They hold space for the hardest conversations, the quiet fears, the unfinished stories. They:

• help families find clarity when decisions feel overwhelming;
• walk with individuals through grief that begins long before goodbye;
• support children, partners, and loved ones in ways that meet them where they are;
• connect families and chosen families to practical resources so no one feels alone in the details; and
• they remain a supporting presence as families move through bereavement.

Social workers ensure care goes far beyond symptom management to honour the full human experience; rooted in dignity, shaped by identity, and guided by meaning, culture and legacy.

This month, we recognize social workers and the commitment, compassion, clinical skill, and humanity they bring to everyone navigating end of life.

Interior Designer Stacey Cohen has spent two decades leading annual giveback projects that leverage her design expertise — renovating community spaces, transforming homes for families in need. Giving back is in her DNA, and when she learned about Neshama Hospice through founding donor and Board member, Cindi Brand, she knew this was something she wanted to support. She came on board to source the finishes, materials, and furniture that would bring the architect’s vision to life — and she did it as a gift.

The result? A deeply human space created to support people at their most vulnerable.

“I want the experience of the space to be about the people,” she says. “The idea is not to look here or there and catch their attention. The design is supposed to take a back seat to the people, and to facilitate the sense of support.”

This isn't just construction—it's the building of a new choice in exceptional end-of-life care for our community.

While winter weather has the future home of Neshama Hospice looking wrapped up and protected from the outside, inside these walls, something exceptional is taking shape.

Steady progress is underway and we’re delighted to share that Neshama's interior spaces are taking shape - and we'll be sharing photos very soon! Every detail has been considered as part of our approach to holistic end-of-life care for individuals and their loved ones.

When we open our doors in late 2026, families will find:
- private rooms offering dignity and comfort;
- private patios and gardens for peaceful reflection; and
- thoughtfully designed spaces that honour both residents and those who love them.

You’re seeing a vision unfold and we’re grateful every day for those who have brought us to this point. We know many more will join us to create Neshama Hospice and all that it will be for the people we serve.

It’s the collaboration and support of our partners and donors that make real and strengthen the circle of care we're creating together.

Family Day reminds us of what it means to just be present with one another as family and chosen family.

At end-of-life, families and loved ones often lose the essence of who they are to one another. Parents become patients. Partners become coordinators. Children become decision-makers. The weight of care can eclipse the gift of presence. Neshama is being built to change that.

Through holistic, individualized, and family-centred care, we will lift the burden of medical management so that families can return to what matters most—being daughter, son, partner, friend. Not patient. Not caregiver. Not coordinator. Just present.
