Now, more than ever, people are longing for connection, comfort and a sense of community. At Beth Donovan Hospice we are striving to grow our “Network of Support” by offering a variety of complimentary programs for those seeking community in their grief and bereavement journey. These programs will aim to support this need for connection and will be available for clients, family, caregivers, volunteers, and our community.

Caregiver Program:
At Beth Donovan Hospice, we recognize the vital role caregivers play in supporting their loved ones. But who cares for caregivers? We do.
Our Caregiver Program offers a range of supports designed to provide connection, respite, and education. A caregiver is anyone who provides physical, emotional, or practical support to a loved one. Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming. That’s why we offer resources to help caregivers feel supported, informed, and less alone. Our caregiver supports include Caregiver Coffee, Caregiver Connections, Educational Workshop and Counselling services. Visit our events calendar for date and time of events
Caregivers are encouraged to utilize our In-Home Visiting Program, where trained volunteers provide companionship for their loved ones, giving caregivers a much-needed break.
Caregiving can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. Beth Donovan Hospice is here to support you every step of the way. Submit a self-referal to connect with us, or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Spirtual Journey:
Spirituality has to do with how we make sense of the world, including how we connect to ourselves, to each other. For some, spirituality is nurtured and expressed within the context of faith and religion. Some find their spirituality reflected in many other ways such as the love of family, pets, gardening, music, art or the wonders of nature. Our team offers many spiritual support services to residents and family members, inclusive to people of all faiths, cultures and beliefs.
