Have you ever wondered what makes Huron Shores Hospice feel like home?

Unless you or a loved one have experienced our care firsthand, you may not have seen our space or the dedicated work we do.

In this short video, you’ll meet some of our incredible Comfort Care Volunteers. They share their reasons for volunteering and what it means to create a homelike environment for our guests and their families as they navigate their end-of-life journeys.

At Huron Shores Hospice, we believe that home is more than just a place—it’s a feeling created through care, compassion, and connection. We hope this video inspires you to learn more about our mission and join us in making a meaningful impact.

✨ Special thanks to our Comfort Care Volunteers—Diane, Ginny, Hope, and Mary Ann—for sharing their stories, and to @saugeenvalleymedia for beautifully capturing our hospice and its mission.

Stay tuned, as we’ll be sharing more clips from these heartfelt interviews soon! by @huronshoreshospice

Thank you to Matthew Moore and the Moore Wealth Management Team at RBC for inviting Huron Shores Hospice to be part of Conversations That Matter, an afternoon focused on cybersecurity, elder care and the importance of having meaningful conversations with the people we love.

Founding Director and end-of-life doula Cheryl Cottrill and Tara Mainland-Tudor (on her last day with Huron Shores Hospice!) were pleased to represent Huron Shores Hospice and share insights around advance care planning, including the importance of thinking ahead, communicating your wishes and having conversations with loved ones about the care that matters most to you.

Advance care planning isn't something we need to put off until a health crisis. Taking time to reflect on what matters to us, identify our wishes and share them with the people closest to us can make a meaningful difference when difficult decisions arise.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to connect with our community, answer questions and help make conversations about aging, serious illness and end-of-life care a little easier to start.

Thank you again to Matthew and the RBC team for bringing people together for these important conversations! 💙

Compassion has a way of bringing communities together, and we're grateful to see those ripples continuing across our region. ❤️A big thank you to the Ripley-Huron Legion for their generous $1,000 donation to Huron Shores Hospice!

Gifts like this help sustain the compassionate, no-cost care we provide to local residents and their families, making room for more comfort, connection and meaningful moments when they matter most.

As we look toward Giving Tuesday on December 1, we're celebrating the people and organizations who are already showing us what Room for More Compassion looks like. Every act of generosity creates another ripple, reaching families today and helping us be here for those who will need us tomorrow.

Thank you, Ripley-Huron Legion, for being part of that wave. ❤️ Let's keep making room for more families, more care, and even more compassion.

What does making Room for More Compassion look like? A heartfelt thank you to the Port Elgin Legion branch 340 for their continued generosity and support of Huron Shores Hospice.

The Legion was among the community supporters who helped bring Serenity, our new third residential hospice suite, to life. And now, they have returned with a generous $1,000 donation in memory of past Legion members who received care at Huron Shores Hospice.

Their gift honours those who came before while helping make room for more families to receive compassionate care, comfort and support when they need it most.

As we look ahead to Giving Tuesday on December 1, we're reflecting on what happens when compassion continues to ripple through a community. One act of generosity creates room for another. One gift helps make a difference for the next family. And together, those moments become something much bigger.

This is Room for More Compassion. And we're grateful to the Port Elgin Legion for helping bring it to life through their belief in our community.

Community generosity has a way of creating ripples throughout our community, and the Community Foundation Grey Bruce helped make that possible through its grant support for our new Serenity suite.

Through this Furnishings for Comfort grant, we were able to support another local business, Harbour Rose Boutique, in bringing an extra layer of comfort to Serenity. From exquisite bedding and linens to pillows and thoughtful details that make a space feel like home, their contributions help create the warm, welcoming environment our residents and families deserve.

Comfort lives in the little things. Fresh, beautiful linens, a soft pillow, a cozy place to rest and surroundings that feel familiar and inviting can make a meaningful difference during some of life's most important moments.

We're grateful to the Community Foundation Grey Bruce for helping us invest in local businesses while making room for more comfort, dignity and compassionate care at Huron Shores Hospice.

Thank you to Harbour Rose Boutique for helping us make Serenity feel like home. ❤️

What makes Serenity feel like home? It’s in the details. Here are some more snapshots of our new third residential hospice suite!

From the inviting sitting areas and soft textures to the thoughtful touches of colour, familiar comforts, and spaces designed for families to gather, every element of our third suite was chosen with care. We wanted Serenity to feel warm, personal, and welcoming, a place where residents can settle in and loved ones can simply be together.

Welcome to Serenity, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered and every moment matters. 💛

Every corner of Serenity has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm, welcoming, and personal. From the comfortable sitting areas to the carefully chosen details, we wanted to create a space where residents and their loved ones can settle in, feel at ease, and spend meaningful time together.

One especially meaningful feature is Bonnie’s Corner, inspired by the beloved polka dot chair in Bonnie’s hospice suite, a chair she fell in love with. Thanks to the Stark family’s generous donation, that same warmth and personality now lives on in Serenity. Its bold pattern became an inspiration for much of the suite’s design, helping us bring colour, warmth, and personality into the space.

We are deeply grateful to the Stark family for helping us create a space that feels a little more like home. Because at Serenity, the details matter, and so do the stories behind them. 💛

What a special day for our community! On Friday, October 23rd, ee officially opened the doors to Serenity, our third residential hospice suite at Tiverton Park Manor, made possible by years of planning, incredible generosity, and a community that believes everyone deserves compassionate care close to home.

During the ribbon-cutting, Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson joined board chair Alex Pizycki, former chair Carol Rencheck, vice-chair Tanya Leppington, Executive Director Cathy Herbert, and founding members Peggy Zeppieri and Cheryl Cottrill to celebrate this milestone.

From the welcoming space to the new cuddle bed, accessible ensuite, and comfortable places for loved ones to stay close, every detail of Serenity has been thoughtfully created to support dignity, comfort, and meaningful time together.

As Cathy Herbert shared, we are fortunate to live in a community that believes hospice care matters. We couldn't agree more. From our Hearts of Hospice supporters and local businesses to our staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners, "Serenity belongs to all of us."

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. Together, we are making more room for compassion, connection, and care when it matters most.
