| About
Lisaard House
In
1996, Sheila O’Donovan was invited to the Cambridge Memorial Hospital
(CMH) with a group of individuals, including Dr. Charmaine Jones, former
head of palliative care at CMH, to discuss the need for an alternative
to institutional and in-home care in Waterloo Region. The group discussed
a need to provide a choice for individuals and their families at a time
in life when few choices seem readily available. During
the following two years, Sheila and her husband, Val, offered a founding
gift and began the process of creating a charitable foundation to establish
a freestanding residential hospice in Waterloo Region. Lisaard House
was registered as a private foundation on August 1, 1998 and opened
its doors to its first resident in July of 2000.
Today,
Lisaard House is a freestanding cancer hospice providing quality end-of-life
palliative care for its residents; Lisaard House welcomes its residents
without charge to a homelike environment offering support not only to
the resident, but also their family. Lisaard
House is a non-profit, charitable organization (charitable registration
#872749536RR0001) without religious affiliation. |
