What is a Hospice Volunteer?

They are people just like you! They come from all walks of life, age, ethnicity, faith, gender, sexual orientation, and professional backgrounds. They unselfishly offer their time and talent to help others at a very difficult time in their lives. Hospice volunteers want to make a difference and they absolutely do!

By volunteering your time, you’ll be helping others and making a difference during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Our Volunteer Services Coordinator will be pleased to discuss available volunteering opportunities with you. Call us at 416-626-0116 or send us an e-mail.

Our team has worked to provide a comfortable space. Below are examples of our full en suite care suites at the McCall Centre for Continuing Care (140 Sherway Dr.), along with some images of our care wing. Click on an image to expand the picture.

FAQ about the temporary location

Why does this renovation have to happen?

The renovations are necessary so that the hospice can add two permanent hospice
rooms equipped with a washroom and all the features needed to provide care. The hospice also must replace its air conditioning unit as it no longer works and needs to make several improvements to the facility to enable safe care.

Will all the hospice services be available at the relocated facility?

Yes, all the hospice services will be available and the care will be provided by the Dorothy Ley Hospice nurses, personal support workers, medical doctors and volunteers. The care will be the same as at the hospice just in a different location.

What if my loved one does not want to go to the temporary facility?

We will work with you and your loved one to find another hospice or a palliative care unit that would meet the needs of your loved one.

Will the hospice at 220 Sherway be open?

Yes, the hospice will continue to be open (Monday – Friday) and all community programs will continue to be provided on-site on the lower level.
