Family at Home Campaign
Who This Serves
At the heart of Heart House are approximately 1200 clients and thousands of family members in our community who are provided in home programs during their end-of-life experience. 95% of Canadians say they want to die at home surrounded by friends and family, yet 75% die in a hospital many times due to lack of home care hospice availability. This is the campaign that is changing that statistic in our community!
